Stitches Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I have a possibility of a polyester quilt coming. I have never quilted with this fabric. Does this fabric need to be treated differently than cotton quilts? Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethDurand Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Poly as in double knit? Or poly cotton blend? I think the answer is that there isn't really anything different about them. You might need a larger needle, and just check the stretch to be sure that the most stretch is between the clamps, and not the rollers. I always think of making a swimsuit, and you want the greater stretch to go around your body so that the suit doesn't get ever baggier as you wear it.

Stitches Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Yes, sorry, as in double knit. I had sewn with double knits years ago and a ball point needle was suggested. I didn't know if there were needle issue with quilting as well. Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
