Information and pictures about the wipes I make

"I love these wipes! They have stood up extremely well to MANY washings and abuse. They are still just as colorful as the day I bought them" - Indya V.

Quilter's Nappies also enjoys very good feedback on Hyena Cart where my products are sold. As of early Sept. 2011, there were over 250 positive feedback comments and no negative feedback. I work very hard to earn and maintain my high reviews, ratings, and feedback by continuously striving to make the best quality products and by shipping them promptly. I am also always on the lookout for new premium fabrics to offer my customers.

*Diaper Pin is one of the top, if not the top rated cloth diaper review sites. Quoted from the Diaper Pin 'About Us' page from May 2009 "we list over 1,100 businesses, 19,000 product reviews. We also have wonderful community of cloth diapering parents who provide tremendous support for cloth diapering and related interests. Our site has enjoyed the number 1 spot in google for cloth diapers search terms for several years. Diaper Pin is your ultimate resource for cloth diapering."

"I was amazed at how well they hold up through all the washes and uses. . . the quality of the Quilters Nappies are far superior then others, both in stitching and fabric. Like I said, it holds up well in the every other day washing on heavy duty!! Oh and I was worried about it trapping odors and stains but it hasn't done that either!" - Ninachoe

I also make travel size wipes in a 5 inch by 7 inch size in many of the same fabrics as the standard size wipes. These are also popular for family cloth (also known as toilet tissue replacement).

I also make burp cloths (also good for dining table napkins) in a 8 inch by 16 inch size in flannel/velour.

All of the wipes I make are dual layer. I take 2 pieces of fabric and sew them together with a serger. After they are serged I hand tie all of the ends (see picture below) so the wipes do not unravel.
With a serger, you have only 3 options to finish the end. You can 1) tie the thread like I do; 2) use an adhesive to keep the thread together; or 3) not do anything which leaves the potential for the threads to start unraveling over time. By tying the threads together, you get a nice sturdy wipe without any chemical adhesive that realisitically, should never unravel, giving you a nice quality wipe that will last a long time. Plus, by making the wipes 2 layers, you will always have the soft side of the fabric to use on your baby's bottom.

The fabrics I use in the wipes that I sell are as follows:

Care and cleaning of Quilter's Nappies cloth wipes

All of the fabric is washed in hot water with Country Save detergent and dried on high heat prior to being cut and made into wipes. I do this in order to shrink the fabric prior to sewing. Each fabric shrinks at a different rate and if the fabric was not pre-shrunk, you would end up with a wipe that was curled and the edges would roll over and it would look really bad after only 1 or 2 washings. With the fabric pre-shrunk, you should see very little, if any curling. Your wipes should lay flat after washing just like they did when they were brand new, even if they have been washed hundreds of times!

For brand new products, please, wash all dark color wipes with like colors a couple of times before laundering with diapers. I do wash all of the fabric before making the wipes but it's still a good idea with dark colors to wash them a few times again anyway.
Wipes can be washed separate or with your cloth diapers. If you wash with your cloth diapers as I recommend, then just wash at whatever temperature your diaper manufacturers recommend. Quilter's Nappies wipes can be washed and dried at any temperature from cold to hot (although I don't recommend steam that some of the new high efficiency (HE) washers have since I have never tried it that hot before) and dried with any method from line drying to drying on high heat. As mentioned above, I wash and dry all of the fabric in hot water and high heat to dry. This shrinks the fabric ahead of time so you don't get wipes that come out curled and looking bad.

I use premium fabrics in all of my wipes. The stitching is very tight and consistent, creating high quality wipes that will last a long time.



Here is a close up of the finished edge of a wipe. As you can see, I tie a knot in the threads to prevent the stitching from unraveling over time.
I have had wipes and napkins in use at home for over 3 years that get washed a few times a week in hot water that have never even started to unravel.



These are examples of some of the wipes I offer in my store. These are flannel print fabric on the front and cotton velour fabric on the back.



These are some examples of the other wipes I offer in my store. These are cotton velour fabric on both sides.



These are more examples of cotton flannel prints on the front and cotton sherpa on the back.
I also make a wipe that has cotton velour on the front and cotton sherpa on the back.



These are some examples of the 5x7 travel wipes I offer in my store.
They are flannel print fabric on the front and either cotton velour or cotton sherpa on the back



These are some of the original wipes I made for myself from cotton flannel on both sides.
These prints are no longer available. I also do not make flannel/flannel wipes anymore.
