Meet Molly & May: Vintage Charm Meets Modern Efficiency
When choosing a quilt backing fabric, you want a combination of premium texture, beautiful drape, and a print that complements—rather than distracts from—your top piecing and machine quilting designs. The Molly & May 108″ Wide Fabric hits every single mark.
-
Delicate Floral Motif: Featuring an ultra-charming, vintage-inspired ditsy floral print, Molly & May showcases soft pink blossoms, gentle dusty blues, olive greens, and subtle neutral accents set against a warm, creamy backdrop.
-
Seamless Versatility: The small-scale floral density means there is no directional “up” or “down” to worry about when loading onto your frame or sewing machine table. It acts almost like a soft textured solid, giving your quilt back a cohesive, polished look.
-
Premium Quality 100% Cotton: Specially woven for wide backing, this fabric boasts a silky-smooth hand feel that glides through domestic machine feed dogs and longarm tension assemblies alike.
-
108-Inch Extra-Wide Width: Say goodbye to center seams! At 108 inches (274 cm) wide, a single continuous cut provides more than enough coverage for everything from lap throw quilts all the way up to generous king-size treasures.
Why Machine Quilters Love Extra-Wide Backing Fabrics
If you have primarily used standard 44″ cottons for your quilt backs, switching to a 108″ extra-wide fabric will completely transform your quilting workflow. Here is why machine quilters consider extra-wide backing a total game-changer:
-
-
Zero Backing Seams: Eliminating center seams means no extra bulk for your machine needle to punch through, preventing skipped stitches and uneven thread tension.
-
Flawless Longarm Loading: When loading a quilt back onto longarm rollers, center seams can cause uneven build-up on the take-up rail. A continuous piece of 108″ fabric rolls evenly, maintaining squareness and consistent tension from top to bottom.
-
Time-Saving Convenience: Skip the measuring, slicing, and pressing of backing panels. Cut your desired length from the bolt, square up the top and bottom edges, and you’re instantly ready to sandwich your layers!
-
Economical Value: Purchasing wide backing fabric often works out far more cost-effective per square meter than piecing together multiple lengths of standard-width fabric.
