Hummmmmmm! And I love how it feels.

I have used it as both backing and binding on a small quilt I made for our little Jack Russell , I wanted to see how it would go together on something small before I attempted anything sizable ! I LOVE how it came out, and so does she !! I have some kid size throw quilts I am putting together for my nieces for Christmas and they will all have corduroy bindings on them ! It gives them a nice soft fuzzy edge . As for using it for the backing, Solvy Water Soluble stabilizer or a heavy starching ! It really helps keep the stretching to a minimum!

I've used it in quilt tops (I've never experienced 'stretchy' corduroy???) been sewing with it for 40 years or more. I've not used it for a whole back before- mainly I guess because it is so expensive- not that it would not make a fabulous back. the batting would be a personal choice- if I were using it I would use batting- if the top of the quilt is already quite heavy I would use a lightweight batting- might even use a wool batting (which is by far my favorite batting- lightweight but lofty- and oh so wonderful to work with- but I might just use a thin cotton too- would depend on the top-

Yes, for a backing on a smaller quilt meant for outside on the ground or to tuck around baby in stroller. Really durable and good protection. I used a piece of flannel instead of batting and the top was just 4 bandanas sewn together. Cute quilt.

I've used corduroy for ages. Never experienced stretching.

I've never experienced 'stretchy' corduroy, either.

I've found it to be one of the more stable fabrics to work with.

Maybe now there is a stretch corduroy like there is a stretch denim available????

I've used it as a border and in a quilt. It was small whale and I used 1/2" seam allowances for that quilt. Everyone loves it, I mixed flannel, fleece, homes puns, jean and corduroy
