Bedding Construction Guide: Printing, Embroidery and Quilting

Quick answer: Printing adds a design to fabric, embroidery adds stitched detail, and quilting joins fabric layers with stitches. These processes affect appearance and construction in different ways; none alone guarantees a particular feel or lifespan.

What is fabric printing?

Printing places a pattern or color on fabric. Different methods suit different artwork and quantities. Ask for the chosen method, a proof or sample and the care instructions for the finished item.

When is embroidery useful?

Embroidery can add a logo, initials or decorative detail. Confirm placement, thread color and whether the back of the stitching will contact the sleeper.

What does quilting do?

Quilting uses stitches to join layers of fabric, often with a filling between them. Check the actual fiber content, filling, dimensions and care label. A quilt, duvet cover and filled comforter are different products.
