What Are Liberty Art Fabrics?
Liberty Art Fabrics are designed by Liberty of London, a British brand with over a century of influence in the world of textile design. Known for their meticulous attention to color and pattern, Liberty fabrics often feature delicate florals, paisleys, and vintage-inspired prints. These fabrics are traditionally printed on ultra-soft, fine cotton.
Liberty's designs are renowned for their repeatable charm, subtle intricacy, and vibrant palettes—making them a dream to quilt, sew, and wear.

Tips for Sewing with Liberty Fabrics
Liberty Art Fabrics—especially those printed on Tana Lawn—are soft and lightweight, so treat them gently when cutting and piecing. Use a sharp rotary blade, fine pins, and a smaller needle (such as a Microtex 70/10) for best results. Fine cotton thread will help maintain smooth seams and reduce bulk.
Pre-washing is optional but recommended if you plan to mix Liberty with heavier quilting cottons. When pressing, use a low to medium heat setting to preserve the crisp print quality.
If combining with quilting cottons, consider using Liberty as the focal fabric or delicate accent, and stabilize with lightweight interfacing when needed.
