- What can I make with two yards of 44-inch cotton?
- Two yards is enough for a baby quilt top, a tote bag, an apron, pillow covers or linings. Larger quilts and garments usually need more yardage or a pieced design.
- Is this fabric good for quilting?
- Yes. It is a plain-weave 100% cotton at quilting weight, so it works for piecing and backing. Prewash it if you plan to wash the finished quilt.
- Does it shrink?
- Cotton typically shrinks after the first wash. Wash and dry it before cutting if finished size matters.
- Can I dye or paint it?
- Yes. Solid white cotton takes fabric dye, fabric paint and fusible interfacing well, which makes it a common base for craft projects.
- Is it suitable for clothing?
- It can work for simple items like aprons, linings and craft wear, but the plain weave is thin and stiff for fitted garments.
- How wide is the fabric?
- It is 44 inches wide, the standard quilting and craft width, so it fits most cutting mats and pattern layouts.
- Where is the Mainstays 100% Cotton Precut Fabric 44 Wide x 2 Yards cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $6.84, as of our latest check.
