Our headquarters is located in France, Brittany, and we are registered with the RCS of LORIENT.

We do not have a physical store, we are exclusively an online store.

An inch also known as a "thumb" and symbolized by "in Anglo-Saxon patchwork patterns is the equivalent of 2.54 cm.

We have answered this question dozens of times on YouTube.

Quite simply because patchwork patterns come to us from Anglo-Saxon peoples who do not use the metric system. From then on, all their creations, not just the patchwork, are designed in inches, therefore in the imperial system.

From a mathematical point of view, yes, of course. The conversion is done by multiplying the number of inches with 2.54. For example: 3" is 7.62 cm (3 x 2.54).

Converting a quilt pattern to centimeters is not recommended because the mathematical equivalence will never be exact. For example, if a pattern asks you to cut a strip of fabric 2.5" wide, the conversion will be 6.35 cm (2.5 x 2.54). In practice, it is impossible to cut exactly 6. 35 cm. And like that, straight away. Converting inches to cm means destroying the pattern.

The only way to succeed in a pattern given in inches is to work it in inches. There are all the inch measuring and cutting tools needed in quilting these days and our store has what you need here .

The Peltex sold in our store is a stabilizer for making bags and baskets, easy to sew, but rigid which gives a nice hold to your projects. It has no equivalent in France in other brands. Visit our YouTube channel for demonstration videos on how to use Peltex.

Peltex is washable, as are the objects made with it. Peltex allows quilting in the same way as fleece.

No! The fabrics offered by our store have exceptional quality because they are only designer fabrics, in 100% cotton. Our fabrics bear the manufacturer's logo and the designer's name on their edges.

These fabrics are clearly distinguished from so-called cheap fabrics because: they do not shrink or bleed when washed. Their fit is perfect and will remain in good condition after cutting, sewing and dozens of washes. Designer fabrics are known to last through generations.

Patchwork fleece is absolutely not wadding or any other replacement product. Fleece is an essential part in making a quilt because the quality and resistance of the quilting depend on it. Our store offers you only the best fleece used in quilting, at least 80% cotton, which also does not shrink when washed and does not come out through the seams! We import the best fleeces directly from the United States.

100% polyester fleeces should be avoided as they are too rigid and allergenic to the skin.

Our experience shows that it is preferable to open the seams when ironing unless this is impossible due to certain techniques.

The advantage of opening the seams when ironing is to have less thickness in the same place which will subsequently interfere with quilting. The rumor that says that fleece will come out through the seams if they are opened when ironing is false. Designer fabrics are designed to avoid such problems.

Quote from Quilter Digest:

Steam should be avoided when ironing seams because it distorts the seams. Steam can be used to reshape warped fabric, for example, but seams in patchwork should be ironed dry most of the time.

In the patchwork we use the straight stitch with a length of 1.8 for the piecing.

Quilting can be done in free motion or with a classic presser foot, depending on the chosen pattern and the technical possibilities of your sewing machine.

For free motion you must, of course, use the free motion feet and the zero length straight stitch.

For quilting with the classic presser foot (or with a double feed foot, if available), the choice of sewing stitch depends on the pattern chosen: straight stitch length 2.5 or decorative stitch.

The back of a quilt is as important as the front. To ensure the hold, resistance over time and aesthetics of your work, it is recommended to use a designer fabric too.

100% cotton thread is best for patchwork. Our experience shows that the quality of the yarn used is of the same importance as the quality of the fabric and fleece. Our preference is for the Aurifil range.

To download a free pattern, you must add it to your basket and place an order which will be charged to you at zero euros. You will then receive an email with the download link.

Yes of course. You can wash your quilts or other patchworks in the washing machine with the "quilt" program and a temperature of 30°C. You can use normal detergent and fabric softener.
