Cheater cloth, also known as "cheater quilt fabric," is a pre-printed fabric that mimics the look of a patchwork quilt - no seams required! Cheater fabric is a quick & easy option for anyone who wants to add a quilted touch to any project without having to piece together individual fabric squares.
Missouri Star carries a range of cheater quilt material in various colors, styles, and themes, including our very own exclusive cheater print fabric from the Missouri Star Souvenir Fabric Collection.
There are many ways to use cheater cloth - here are just a few ideas to spark your creativity:
1. Create a cheater quilt by layering any cheater quilt top fabric on top of batting and backing fabric, then quilting it together.
2. Incorporate cheater fabric as a focal point of your quilt top’s design - for example, you could treat it as a cheater quilt fabric panel and then add border fabric to finish the top.
3. Use a cheater quilt fabrics as your quilt backing to enjoy a fully reversible quilted look without added bulk.
4. Jump on the quilted jacket trend by choosing your favorite quilt cheater fabric to pair with with batting and lining to create a warm and fashionable outerwear piece.
5. Turn your favorite cheater cloth quilt fabric into a quick & easy table runner, place mat or wall hanging! Similar to how you would make a cheater quilt, you’ll just need to layer your cheater material on top of batting and backing fabric before quilting it together.
6. Create a one-of-a-kind tote bag using cheater cloth. The printed design can serve as the front and back of the bag, while the sides and bottom can be made from coordinating solid fabric - or vice versa! You can also use cheater quilt fabric by the yard as your bag liner.
7. As you can see, there are really no limits to what you can make with cheater cloth quilt fabric. This versatile fabric can be cut and sewn into a variety of shapes and sizes to create different designs.
Overall, cheater cloth is a convenient option for those who want to create the look of a patchwork quilt or design without having to piece together individual fabric squares. We can’t wait to see what you make!
