I'm excited to share a warm and so very cuddly quilt - The Back in Black: A Crazy 8 Quilt Kit. This quilt is 100% Shannon Cuddle fabric and is sooooooo soft!
Back in Black: A Crazy 8 Quilt 58" x 68"
As this was my first time making a 100% Cuddle Quilt, I wanted to use a kit. I chose the Back in Black: A Crazy 8 Quilt Kit from Missouri Star Quilt Company. I highly recommend the quilt kit because all the Cuddle fabric is included to make the quilt top and binding. Just choose a 2 yard cut of Cuddle for the backing (Cuddle is 58-60" wide) The kit includes (8) 10" x WOF Cuddle Fabric so minimal cutting is required for this quilt. PS - no batting is needed as the pattern includes a clever quilt as you go assembly.
Keep reading for tips for sewing with Cuddle fabric.
- Back in Black: A Crazy 8 Quilt Kit (quilt top and binding)
- 2 yards of Cuddle Backing: Luxe Cuddle: Hawke Alloy
- Polyester Thread: Glide 40wt Sterling
- 90/14 needle
- Pins (sturdy ones as you will be pinning through 3 layers of cuddle)
- Wonder Clips
Cuddle Tips:
Cutting:
- Keep a vacuum nearby.
- Place each cut piece in the dryer with no heat for a few minutes to remove loose fibers. Don't forget to clean the dryer vent after.
- Use a walking or even/dual feed foot.
- Polyster thread: I love Glide 40wt
- 90/14 needle
- Increase stitch length. I used 3.0
- Use a 1/2" seam allowance
- Use sturdy pins
