100% Combed Cotton Printed Quilting Fabric by the Yard - Soft, Stable

In this review of Texco's 100% combed cotton printed quilting fabric, the bottom line is clear: sewists and quilters who want a soft, stable, easy-to-handle cotton will appreciate this textile. The fabric's combed construction removes shorter fibers, producing a noticeably smoother hand and improved durability, which is the single best reason to choose it for quilts, baby items, and home decor where a clean finish matters. It's a practical, everyday quilting cloth rather than a heavyweight upholstery textile.

Key Features

• 100% combed cotton: The combing process yields a softer, cleaner surface and stronger yarns that resist pilling and give neat seams for finished projects.
• Lightweight 150 gsm: At a medium-thin density this fabric balances drape and structure so quilts, clothing, and accessories are comfortable yet hold their shape.
• No stretch: The stable, non-stretch weave helps maintain precise seam lines and predictable garment or quilt construction during cutting and sewing.
• 44 in width: A common usable width that makes planning yardage for quilts, table runners, and curtains straightforward without excessive seams.
• Easy care guidance: Recommended washing, low-temperature ironing, and avoiding bleach extend the fabric's life and protect color and texture.
• Versatile uses: Suitable for baby quilts, pillow covers, tote bags, and other DIY crafts where breathability and durability are important.

Who It's For

This fabric is aimed at quilters, hobby sewers, and crafters who want a dependable, soft cotton that finishes cleanly. The smoother hand from the combed fibers makes it especially appealing for baby blankets, clothing pieces, and projects where gentle next-to-skin feel matters.

It is less suitable for projects requiring heavy-duty or highly elastic material, such as full upholstery for frequently used sofas or stretch garments. If you need extra weight or built-in stretch, look for a canvas or knit fabric instead.
