Quilted vinyl refers to a type of vinyl fabric that has been quilted or padded to create a textured surface. It typically consists of a layer of vinyl (a synthetic plastic material known for its durability and water resistance) that is stitched or bonded to a layer of padding material, such as foam or polyester batting. This quilting process not only adds a decorative pattern or texture to the vinyl but also enhances its tactile feel and comfort.
Quilted vinyl is commonly used in upholstery and crafting applications where both aesthetic appeal and functionality are important. It is often chosen for its durability, ease of cleaning, and ability to mimic the look and feel of traditional quilted fabrics without the maintenance requirements. This type of fabric can be found in various designs, ranging from simple diamond or grid patterns to more intricate motifs, offering versatility for different design preferences and project needs.
