This Minerva exclusive Babelone Art design printed on cotton sateen offers a reversible, quilted coating fabric perfect for sewers looking to create warm outerwear or accessories. Its key benefit is the dual-sided usability and excellent insulation, though it requires a specific needle for best results and may be too heavy for very delicate projects.

Pre-quilted means that three layers – two fabric layers (cotton sateen) and an inner wadding layer (polyester) – have been stitched together in a pattern (diamond quilting) before you receive the fabric. This provides insulation and structure.
Yes, this fabric is designed to be reversible. You can choose to use either the printed Babelone Art side or the plain cotton sateen side as the exterior of your project.
It is ideal for sewing warm outerwear like coats and jackets, as well as waistcoats, skirts, bags, cushions, and other home accessories where warmth and structure are desired.
The two outer layers are 100% cotton sateen, and the inner wadding layer is 100% polyester.
The fabric weighs 365 grams per square metre, classifying it as a heavy-weight fabric.
We recommend using a new, heavy universal needle for best results when sewing through all layers.
While the cotton layers are breathable, the added wadding layer makes this fabric best suited for cooler or cold weather due to its significant insulating properties.
Ensure you are using a new, heavy universal needle (e.g., size 90/14 or 100/16). Check that your machine is correctly threaded and the tension is set appropriately for multiple layers.
This fabric is designed for structured items. For projects requiring more drape, consider a lighter-weight fabric. You can test drape by folding and handling a sample.
The diamond quilting pattern is designed to minimize wadding shift. Ensure you follow recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid overly aggressive washing cycles.
Sewing:
For the best results when sewing this fabric, use a new, heavy universal needle. This ensures clean penetration through the multiple layers without snagging or skipping stitches.
Compatibility:
This fabric is compatible with most standard sewing machines. It is ideal for projects requiring structure and warmth, such as coats, jackets, waistcoats, skirts, bags, and cushions.
