Frequently Asked Questions

Why use stripes for quilt binding?
Striped binding cut on the bias creates a fun candy-cane diagonal around the quilt edge. Cut on the straight grain, it gives a crisp, classic frame.

How much 108" wide backing do I need?
For a queen quilt of about 90" x 108", about 3 1/4 yards of 108" backing covers it with no seams. Our Fabric Yardage Calculator can help with other sizes.

What is canvas fabric best for?
Canvas is heavier than quilting cotton, making it ideal for tote bags, pillows, aprons and home decor rather than quilt tops.

How do I match stripes when sewing?
Cut one layer at a time, line up the stripes at the seam lines, and pin generously before sewing.

Can I see them in person?
Of course. Stop by our Richmond, TX shop, or order online and choose free local pickup. Hours and directions are on our Visit Us page.
