Wadding/Backing
Wadding and Backing Fabric
We can provide a variety of types of wadding for your quilt whether you prefer 100% cotton, the popular 80% cotton/ 20% polyester blend, 100% polyester or even wool, silk or bamboo blends. Or alternatively you can provide your own wadding; there are a couple of points to bear in mind if you are providing your own wadding:
We can provide a selection of 108” wide backing fabrics ranging from calico to patterned.
For an estimate please see the Contact Us page.
Basting
If you would like to finish your own quilt by hand quilting, with buttons, ties or by using your own machine, we can baste your quilt for you with easily removal stitches which will securely hold the three layers of your quilt top, wadding and backing together.
This will save you the task of finding a space big enough, sore knees and aching back and time. After you have finished the quilt, the large basting stitches can easily be removed.
The cost of this service is based on the size of your quilt. For an estimate please click on the Our Prices tab.

To finish your quilt this way will take more time and we offer the following different styles:

Additional Services
We have been fortunate to work on a variety of vintage quilts, whether replacing a binding, odd patches which have worn or hand quilting small sections. Please Contact Us to discuss your personal requirements.
We understand too that time is short or you simple want to move on to the next project and would like us to prepare the quilt top for quilting, whether it is joining backing fabrics, stitching “dodgy” seams or anything else, we can help.
This type of work will be charged at £15 per hour.
