Fabric

Most fabric used for appliqué is 100% cotton. There is a wide variety of choices in color, print, and thread count in our quilt shops and fabric stores. Any fabric used for piecing can be used for appliqué. Thread count is the number of yarns per inch in both the crosswise and lengthwise directions. For many projects the thread count may not be as important as color. For fusible appliqué or appliqué with turned edges, any cotton fabric may be used, although fabric with low thread count may shift and be more difficult to work with. Fabric with a high thread count, such as batik, keeps a crisp edge for fusible and turned-edge appliqué for either machine or hand stitching.
