100% Combed Cotton Printed Quilting Fabric by the Yard (Style SB28)

In this review the reviewer tested Texco's 100% combed cotton printed quilting fabric to see who benefits most from its extra soft hand and stable structure. The bottom line: this fabric is best for makers who need a breathable, easy-to-sew cotton with clear printed detail and reliable durability for quilts, baby items, and home decor; the single biggest reason to buy is the combed cotton finish, which yields a smoother, stronger surface than regular cotton.

Key Features

• 100% combed cotton: The combing process removes short fibers and impurities, producing a noticeably smoother texture that holds up to repeated handling.
• Lightweight 150 gsm: The medium-thin density gives a soft drape while still feeling substantial enough for quilt layers and clothing projects.
• No stretch: The stable, non-stretch construction preserves shape and enables precise piecing and stitching in quilting and bags.
• 44 in width: A standard working width that fits most quilting and garment layouts without excessive seams.
• Wide use cases: Suitable for quilts, clothing, pillow covers, tote bags, table runners, baby accessories and many craft projects that need breathability and durability.

Who It's For

Makers who sew quilts, baby blankets, lightweight clothing, or home decor will find this fabric appealing thanks to its combination of softness and structure; the printed detail is praised by customers and works well when pattern clarity matters. Quilters looking for a reliable cotton with predictable behavior during cutting, piecing and washing will appreciate the combed finish and stable, non-stretch nature.

This fabric is less suitable for projects that require significant stretch or heavy upholstery where thicker, higher gsm fabrics are needed. If you need a knit or stretch fabric, or a heavyweight canvas for heavy-duty furniture, look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, smooth hand from the combed cotton that is comfortable for baby and wearable projects.
• Clear printed patterns and good color quality, as customers have noted, so motifs read well in finished pieces.
• Stable, no-stretch construction makes it easy to cut and sew accurate seams for quilting and accessories.
• Lightweight 150 gsm gives a nice balance of drape and structure for layered projects.

Cons

• Medium-thin weight means some crafters find the fabric lighter than expected for heavy-duty uses, which is reflected in mixed comments about fabric weight.
