FAQs

What does 'Fat Quarter' mean?

A fat quarter is a standard quilting measurement for fabric. It's a quarter yard of fabric cut lengthwise, resulting in a piece that is approximately 18 inches by 22 inches (or 45cm x 55cm in metric, though this pack specifies 50cm x 55cm). This shape is more versatile for quilting than a traditional 'long quarter'.

Can I mix these fabrics with other Tilda collections?

Yes, these Tilda Classic Basics fabrics are designed to complement other Tilda fabric collections, allowing you to create layered and cohesive designs.

How much fabric is in one pack?

Each pack contains six fat quarter pieces of fabric, with each piece measuring 55 x 50cm.

What is the best way to pre-wash the fabric?

Wash the fabrics at 40 degrees Centigrade, as recommended. It's advisable to use a gentle cycle and a mild detergent. You can tumble dry on a low setting or air dry.

What are these fabrics best suited for?

These fat quarters are ideal for quilting, patchwork, crafting small projects like pouches and accessories, and creating decorative home items.

Are these fabrics suitable for clothing?

While 100% cotton is comfortable, these specific Tilda prints are primarily designed for quilting and crafting. The fat quarter size might also be limiting for larger garment pieces. However, they could be used for small clothing items or accents.

What patterns are included in the light blue pack?

The light blue pack includes a selection of patterns such as criss-cross, stars, stripes, spots, and polka dots, in light blue and white colorways.

Troubleshooting

Fabric colors bleed during washing.

Ensure you are washing at the recommended 40 degrees Centigrade and consider washing darker or intensely colored fabrics separately for the first wash, even if pre-washed.

Shrinkage is more than expected.

Accurately measure fabric before washing and re-measure after to understand the exact shrinkage. Adjust cutting measurements accordingly for future projects. Ensure consistent washing temperatures.

Fabric is difficult to cut cleanly.

Ensure you are using sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter and mat. For precise cutting, pre-wash and press the fabric thoroughly to remove wrinkles.
