Comparing Solids from Different Manufacturers
Hello all, I have yet to find a concise comparison of the different solid lines offered by different fabric manufacturers.
Has anyone put together a little explanation of how one differs from another? I am particularly interested in the feel of the solid fabric...is one more soft, or more drapey than another etc. |

Has anyone put together a little explanation of how one differs from another? I am particularly interested in the feel of the solid fabric...is one more soft, or more drapey than another etc. compare solid cotton quilting fabric Stitched in Color, SewCanShe, CorianderQuilts, CluckCluckSew are the first few hits in the results and compare different mfrs/lines/etc. |
The feel of the fabric changes after washing, so that is hard for me to predict. Something that has the feel that I like can change. I do have my favorite mfg site and find Norcott fabrics feel great, but usually don't have what I'm looking for.

Each vendor will have different color palettes from another vendor. I would visit a large quilt shop and take a look at the choices. Compare color to similar color. Red to red, blue to blue, for example. Kona Cotton will not exactly match a different vendor color palette, for example. It is a personal choice of what appeals to the buyer. The shop may have vendor specific color cards to look at. The “hand” ( the feel) of each vendor may differ. I find Kona to feel thinner than my fave vendor, Maywood.
BTW. Every mfgr has a solids line. |
I’ve had colour changes between bolts from the same company. I would want to in person compare colours myself.

I like the Robert Kaufman Kona solids. Many, many colors to choose from and I feel a good quality. (Not affiliated in any way)

There’s many brands of solids. Many designers have their own, too.
