Hi everyone!

We have been working with some incredible quilt pattern designers to create exclusive and free fantastic quilt designs for our Free Projects Program. It has been such a wonderful experience being able to partner with such creative minds who have created quilt designs that perfectly encapsulate our fabric collections. Our fabric collections have a modern, fresh, and vibrant feel to them and all of our exclusive modern quilt designs showcase that.

We have so many fantastic free quilt designs on our website currently, but we have decided to post a roundup of our current quilt designs on our blog each month. This way, you can see all the new wonderful quilt designs and talent we are currently working with. You can check out all of our current designs, as well as free projects, here.

Ad-Fab™…so what exactly is it?

We have recently launched our newest product on our website, Ad-Fab™, and have been super excited about it! We had an initial preview of our Ad-Fab™ and felt products at this year’s Craft & Hobby Show in January, and received lots of positive feedback on it. But, after the web launch, we also received some inquiries on what exactly it is. This blog post is your one-stop guide on everything you need to know, answering all your questions, about our newest product…Ad-Fab™!

Ad-Fab™ is a collection of our best-selling prints and designs on 100% cotton, on an adhesive backing. In brief, our Ad-Fab™  is your favorite fabric designs with an adhesive backing that you can use for all your crafting needs! Our Ad-Fab™ sheets are in 12″ x 12″ cuts and comes in two types of 12 packs. The first is Collection Stacks, a collection of two or more of our designs that coordinate with one another, matching perfectly for all your project needs. The second form is Single Packs, which is a package of 12 of the same design (12 of a kind!).

Our Ad-Fab™ is very flexible and tough, and there is no fraying because of the adhesive. Another thing is that it is very sticky and can stick to any surface – ceramic, glass, other fabrics, wood, paper, cardboard, and any of our other fabrications. And because of its stickiness, it is permanent so we do not recommend sticking it onto a surface you’ll want to remove it from later. In terms of cleaning, we recommend hand-washing it or using a stain remover stick; because of the adhesive backing we do not recommend using it in the washing machine.

For crafting, we recommend using Teflon scissors, but if you use regular scissors, you can clean them with alcohol and a cotton ball. Likewise, make sure the paper backing is still intact while cutting. Be careful when peeling the backing off as the adhesive can stick onto itself, therefore we recommend peeling the adhesive fabric and the backing away from each other. That will make working with our Ad-Fab™ super easy and problem-free!

Ad-Fab™ is our way of delving into the crafting industry as a predominantly fabric-based company. Our Ad-Fab™ eliminates the added process of applying an adhesive to fabric cotton, making crafting with fabric hassle-free and fun.

So, what can you do with Ad-Fab™? The possibilities are endless, but some ideas are felt envelopes, a mouse-pad, coffee cozies, jar labels, greeting cards, banners, electronic skin covers, notebook binding, scrapbooking, stickers, acrylic tray covers, pet collars, photo frames, DIY card wallets, lampshade covers, and so much more!! {Click more to see the rest!}
