Applique Paper – A Game-Changer for Quilters
Our applique paper is a versatile essential for every quilting toolkit. Measuring 1m x 70cm (40" x 28.5"), it’s ideal for glue stick applique, needleturn, foundation paper piecing, English Paper Piecing, and even as a stabiliser—especially useful for art quilting projects.
What makes this paper stand out is its unique fibre composition: a 50/50 blend of soluble and non-soluble fibres. Once washed, the soluble portion dissolves, leaving behind soft fibres inside your quilt. That means no removal is needed after stitching—it adds stability while you sew and softens beautifully once laundered.
Looking to customise your own templates? You can also copy or trace needleturn shapes, or use a cutting machine like a Brother ScanNCut or Silhouette Cameo to automate the process.
If there’s a particular shape or size you’re after, get in touch—we’re happy to help source or create what you need.
