Why choose the 90" wide Cuddle 3 fabric?
At 90 inches wide, Cuddle 3 Extra Wide eliminates the need for a center seam on most quilt backings, giving you a cleaner, more polished finish. It is especially popular for longarm quilters who want to load a single piece of backing fabric without piecing.
How do I care for Cuddle 3 minky fabric?
Machine wash Cuddle 3 in cold water with like colors on a gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat. Avoid dryer sheets, which can leave residue on the plush pile.
Is Cuddle 3 minky good for longarm quilting?
Yes — many longarm quilters use Cuddle 3 as a backing fabric. Use a longer stitch length, a walking foot or longarm, and a quality polyester thread like Glide or FabuLux Cuddle Thread for best results. Avoid heavy quilting density on minky.
What colors are available in the 90" Cuddle 3 collection?
The 90" Cuddle 3 line is available in a wide range of solid colors from soft pastels and neutrals to rich jewel tones. Browse the collection to find the perfect backing color for your next project.
