Quilting For The Clothing Sector
Fashion-led, seasonal production with wax fabric expertise.
What Clothing Manufacturers Need From Quilting
We quilt wax fabric — a genuine speciality, and one most commission quilters will not take on. Wax cotton behaves differently under the needle and needs the right needle, tension and handling to come off the machine without marking. Alongside that we quilt shell fabrics for outerwear on seasonal lead times.
We quilt on commission only. You send fabric on the roll, we quilt it to your chosen filling on multi-needle lock stitch machines, and the finished rolls come back ready to cut. We never make competing finished products, so nothing you tell us ends up in a rival’s catalogue.

Fabrics we quilt for clothing
Wax cotton, nylon and polyester shell fabrics.
If you are unsure whether a fabric will run — coated, waxed, very light or very open — send us five metres and we will quilt a sample before you commit to a production quantity.
Fillings and waddings
Our stock polyester wadding runs from 70gsm to 300gsm, is made from recycled polyester and complies with BS5852 Part 2 1982. Heavier weights are available on request. Where an application calls for foam, felt, a natural filling or a specified flame-retardant material, we quilt customer-supplied materials as standard, with no penalty in our pricing for doing so.
Material data we can evidence, tests we won't invent
Reaction-to-fire and durability classifications belong to a finished article and its test, not to roll goods. We supply what we can evidence and quilt panels for you to submit.
- UK-sourced recycled polyester wadding to BS5852 Part 2 1982
