May 2025: Solid Fabrics 101

January 3, 2025

May 18 @ 2:00 pm 5:00 pm

Do you use solids in your quilting? Have you wondered “why this brand or that brand”? Do you simply buy what is on hand at your LQS or big box craft store? Have you ever bought what you thought was the same color by the same manufacturer and found them to be not quite the same? What is up with that? Have you ever hunted for the perfect shade, but weren’t sure you checked everywhere?

Heather Kinion will talk about what goes into making solid fabrics as well as give an overview of many of your options when it comes to solid manufacturers; you will even get to feel the difference with samples from several different fabric lines.
