In Quilted Fabric #106, how are the face and batting dyed?

• A. Face Piece dyed; Batting Solution dyed
• B. Face Solution dyed; Batting Piece dyed
• C. Both Piece dyed
• D. Both Solution dyed

Answer: (A)

The difference between dyeing methods explains how color appears and lasts in layered fabrics. Piece dyeing applies color to the fabric after it’s woven, so the visible color sits on the surface of the face material. Solution dyeing adds color during polymer formation, so the color is embedded through the fiber—giving uniform color throughout the material, including the batting. For Quilted Fabric #106, the face fabric is dyed by the piece method, producing the surface color you see on the face, while the batting is dyed in the solution, so the color runs through the entire batting. This combination gives a distinct face color with durable, consistent color in the batting.
