  2. How to Choose a Quilting Fabric from Australia? Your eyes instantly start searching the store from left to right when you step into a quilt shop, taking in all the bright colours. And then this happens. You come to a screeching stop yet you feel like you are running away. Fabric paralysis is caused by the intense sense of so many decisions! This is where we at M&S Textiles Australia are going to share some tips on how to pick the best fabric for a quilt that we've learned. If you are walking through a quilt exhibition, the specific fabrics used in the quilts are one of the items that will definitely leap out. We found that there were many entrants using the same quilt pattern while attending a local quilt show, but each quilt was uniquely based on the fabrics used in their quilts. In a way that illustrated features of a specific quilt, some of the entries were also quilted. www.mstexaustralia.com

  3. Having this prompted us to guide you to look at the art of selecting fabrics for a quilt more closely. Where do you start when it comes to selecting quilt fabrics in Australia when you don't have an art degree or years of quilting experience? www.mstexaustralia.com

  4. Pre-Cut Collection • Why not try a series of fabric pre-cuts when learning about quilting? They are a little more pricey, but this is the best way to learn how to curate a quilt collection of fabrics from a Melbourne manufacturer. A number of fabrics with different print sizes (scale) and matching colours will be available for several collections. Here is what you will actually see: • Wide Print Scale • Print on a medium scale • Small Print Size • Variation Geometric or Striped • Dots at Random • This is not a hard rule, for many collections, it is more of a guideline. Following this pattern helps you to finally move on from a wide selection to select your own fabrics. www.mstexaustralia.com

  5. Wrapping Up When choosing fabrics for a quilt, there really is no substitute for practice. We at M&S Textile Australia believe the best place to start is by understanding the colour wheel. From there, you should try practising with some scraps. Once you’ve gained a little confidence, it’s time to visit a quilt shop and start auditioning fabrics. Best of all, no more fabric paralysis. www.mstexaustralia.com
