Why Buy Quality Fabric for Your Quilting Project?

When it comes to quilting, the fabric you choose can make all the difference. While it might be tempting to opt for budget-friendly options, investing in high-quality quilting fabric ensures better results, longer-lasting quilts, and a more enjoyable sewing experience. Here’s why selecting premium fabric is worth it!

1. It Feels Better to Work With

High-quality quilting fabrics are tightly woven, smooth, and soft to the touch. They cut cleanly, press well, and won’t fray excessively like lower-quality fabrics. This makes sewing, piecing, and pressing a breeze!

2. Longer-Lasting Quilts

Quilts are often made to be treasured heirlooms, passed down through generations. Quality fabric resists fading, fraying, and thinning over time, ensuring your hard work stands the test of time.

3. Better Sewing Experience

Have you ever struggled with fabric that stretches, puckers, or shifts unpredictably? That’s a common issue with lower-quality textiles. Premium quilting cotton has better stability, making piecing and stitching more precise and enjoyable.

4. Vibrant, Lasting Colors

High-quality fabrics use superior dyes and printing processes, meaning your quilt’s colors won’t fade after just a few washes. This ensures your masterpiece remains bright and beautiful for years to come.

5. Easier to Maintain

Cheaper fabrics tend to shrink, bleed, or pill after washing. With high-quality cotton, you’ll get fabric that holds its shape and appearance through multiple washes, making quilt care easier and stress-free.

6. Supports Small Quilt Shops

When you buy quality fabric from a local quilt shop like Walla Walla Sew, Vac & Spas, you’re supporting a small business that carefully curates the best materials for your projects. Plus, you’ll get expert advice and inspiration to bring your quilting vision to life!

Choose the Best for Your Quilt

Your time, creativity, and effort deserve the best—don’t cut corners with low-quality fabric. Stop by Walla Walla Sew, Vac & Spas to shop our beautiful selection of quilting fabrics today!

How to maintain a hot tub

 

Routine Water Care   Here’s a quick summary on how to maintain your hot tub: Water: Test chemical levels weekly using strips and adjust as needed with the recommended products from your owner’s manual. Drain and refill every 3–4 months, depending on usage. Filter: Rinse and clean the filter with a garden hose or filter flosser monthly. Replace when necessary. Cover: Always use a cover to keep your water warm, clean, and protected from debris and weather.   DID YOU KNOW? No more guesswork. When you upgrade to a SmartTub ® , you'll automatically receive alerts when your tub needs a new filter, and it will also detect power outages, freezing, overheating, and more.  Visit your local dealer to learn more and explore quality covers, water care products, filters, and more.
