Vienna Cuddle at Linda’s Electric Quilters features Shannon Fabrics’ Vienna Cuddle — a luxurious, high-pile minky fabric with a distinctive, plush texture that takes Cuddle softness to an entirely new level. Vienna Cuddle’s longer, silkier pile creates an exceptionally rich, velvety surface that is irresistible for the most cozy, luxurious quilting and sewing projects.
How is Vienna Cuddle different from regular Shannon Cuddle?
Vienna Cuddle has a longer, silkier pile than standard Cuddle 3, creating a more plush, velvety texture. It is slightly more challenging to sew with due to the longer pile, but the result is an extraordinarily soft, luxurious finished product that is worth the extra care during construction.
What projects is Vienna Cuddle best suited for?
Vienna Cuddle is ideal for luxury throw blankets, ultra-soft baby quilts, stuffed animals, and any project where maximum plushness and softness are the goals. It is particularly popular for special heirloom-quality baby gifts and comfort quilts.
How do I sew with Vienna Cuddle fabric?
Use a walking foot to prevent shifting, a ballpoint needle to protect the knit fibers, and plenty of pins to manage the extra pile during sewing. Brush the seam allowances open after sewing to reduce bulk. Always cut pile-side down for the most accurate cutting.
How do I care for projects made with Vienna Cuddle?
Machine wash in cool water on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat. Do not use fabric softener, which can reduce the plushness of the pile over time. Air drying is also suitable for Vienna Cuddle projects.
