When it comes to metallic fabric by the yard, many quilters want to see what we have in terms of Christmas metallics. In store and online, many of our Christmas collections feature fabric with metallic accents, like the incredibly popular Winter’s Grandeur and Holiday Flourish lines. 

A lot of guests also ask if metallic fabric is safe–-safe to wear, wash, and sew. Metallic fabrics for quilting do tend to be less resistant to wear and wash compared to other materials, and other components like perspiration and bodily contact can discolor the metallic finish. All this in mind, it’s important to limit washing and excessive use of quilts and clothing that feature metallic print cotton fabrics, and to follow proper care instructions so the sparkle stays as long as possible.
