Frequently Asked Questions
What's the minimum order for custom quilting fabric?
There's no minimum! Order as little as one yard, or even a single Fat Quarter (18" x 21"). This is perfect for testing a design, creating a custom center panel, or printing photo blocks for a memory quilt. Need 20 yards for a king-size quilt? We can do that too.
What's a Fat Quarter and why should I order one first?
A Fat Quarter is an 18" x 21" piece of fabric, a quilting standard that gives you a usable piece for testing or small projects. We recommend ordering a Fat Quarter of your custom design first to check colors, see how your design looks on actual fabric, and confirm you love it before ordering full yardage.
Which fabric is best for quilting?
Our Quilt Cotton is specifically designed for quilting. It has the crisp hand, stable grain, and traditional weight that quilters expect. It cuts cleanly, pieces accurately, and quilts beautifully. For softer projects, try our 4 oz Cotton. For show quilts or heirloom projects, our Cotton Sateen adds an elegant finish.
Can I print photos on fabric for a memory quilt?
Absolutely! Photo printing for memory quilts is one of our most popular uses. We recommend high-resolution images (at least 150 DPI at the size you want them printed). The photos print clearly and remain vibrant through washing.
Will the fabric wash well?
Yes! Our printing process bonds the ink to the cotton fibers, creating durable prints that hold up through washing. We recommend pre-washing your custom fabric (just like any quilting fabric) before cutting. Machine wash cold, tumble dry low.
