What Benartex Is Known For

Benartex collections are rich in detail. Many lines are digitally printed, like Dragonfly Wonder, which gives photo-like shading, while lines like On Dragonfly Wings are pearlized and holiday lines like Holiday Keepsakes add a metallic shimmer. You'll also find country and farmhouse prints like Prairie Chicks and Harvest Beginnings, and Christmas collections like Star of Wonder Star of Light and Holly & Hearth.

Sewing with Pearlized and Metallic Precuts

Pearlized and metallic finishes sit on top of the cotton, so press on the back or use a pressing cloth, and keep the iron a little cooler than usual. The shine shows best in large pieces, which is why these collections often come as 10" squares.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Benartex Strip-pie?+

A Strip-pie is Benartex's name for a roll of 2.5" x width-of-fabric strips – the same size as a jelly roll. Any jelly roll pattern will work with a Strip-pie.

What does digitally printed fabric mean?+

Digitally printed fabric is printed with inkjet-style technology instead of screens, so it can show many more colors and fine, photo-like detail. It sews and washes like regular quilting cotton.

How do I iron pearlized or metallic fabric?+

Press from the back side, or use a pressing cloth on the front, with a medium iron. Direct high heat can dull the finish.

Can I mix Benartex precuts with other brands?+

Yes. Pull a solid or tonal from the collection's colors to tie them together.

How many Strip-pies do I need for a quilt?+

Most jelly roll patterns use one roll for a lap-size top, plus background and border fabric. Check your pattern's supply list and the strip count on the label.
