Matilda's Own 100% Cotton Quilt Wadding
Pure Australian Cotton Wadding for Breathability and Comfort. Cut to length in 1/2 metre increments
Matilda's Own 100% Cotton Quilt Wadding is a premium, all-natural choice for quilters seeking a breathable, soft, and durable wadding. Available in 1/2 metre increments, this custom-cut option allows you to order the exact length needed for your project, reducing waste and ensuring efficiency in your quilting or sewing work.
Made from the finest Australian-grown cotton, this wadding is completely seed-free, providing a smooth and consistent texture. The cotton fibres have been needle-punched with a fine scrim to prevent bearding, ensuring long-term stability within your quilt. Designed for a traditional low-loft finish, this wadding drapes beautifully and delivers a natural feel, making it an excellent choice for classic quilt designs, heirloom projects, and lightweight bedding.
With an approximate loft of ⅛+ inch (0.3+ cm) and a recommended maximum stitch or tie distance of 10" (25.4 cm), this wadding provides excellent structure while maintaining flexibility for hand and machine quilting. Its naturally breathable properties help regulate temperature, making it a comfortable option for year-round use. The hypoallergenic nature of pure cotton wadding also makes it suitable for those with sensitivities, ensuring a gentle and irritation-free experience.
Prewashed and preshrunk, this wadding has a minimal shrinkage rate of just 2.5%, maintaining the integrity of your finished project. It is soft and easy to work with, gliding smoothly through a sewing machine or accommodating detailed hand stitching. Free from resins, sprays, glues, or bonding agents, this wadding remains pure and unprocessed, offering a clean and natural quilting experience.
All our wadding is cut in-house, allowing us to offer a broader range of sizes than standard pre-cut options. Additionally, each order is shipped plastic-free, reflecting our commitment to sustainable packaging and responsible retailing.
Matilda's Own 100% Cotton Quilt Wadding is the perfect choice for quilters who value tradition, comfort, and quality craftsmanship. Whether creating an intricate quilt or a simple patchwork piece, this natural cotton wadding ensures a timeless and professional finish.
