Say hello to SuperSoft SQUISHY, kullaloo’s ultra-stretchy mochi minky fabric! With its incredibly soft texture and a low pile of just over 1/32” (1 mm), SQUISHY is a fabric like no other. Its 4-way stretch – with a significantly larger horizontal extension – makes it the perfect choice for creating super squishy and chubby plush toys, especially when paired with a non-clumping fiber filling.

Made from a blend of 95% polyester and 5% ultra-soft spandex, SQUISHY is durable, hypoallergenic, and resistant to shrinking and tearing. It’s also surprisingly low-shed compared to traditional minky fabrics with longer piles, making it easier to work with and maintain. Tested for harmful substances and produced to meet international quality standards, SQUISHY combines softness, durability, and safety in one fantastic fabric.

Things to keep in mind when sewing with SuperSoft SQUISHY

Due to its extreme stretchability and soft fibers, sewing with SQUISHY requires some specific techniques for the best results:

• Account for stretch during stuffing: SQUISHY’s high stretch can make stuffed pieces wider and rounder than expected. If you prefer a more controlled shape, adjust your pattern pieces to be narrower or use interfacing to reduce the fabric’s stretch. Or embrace the stretch for irresistibly chubby, squeezable plushies!
• Use a generous seam allowance: A 1/4” (0.7 cm) seam allowance works, but we recommend 3/8” (1 cm) for better durability. Mochi minky is highly stretchy, and smaller seam allowances increase the risk of tearing under frequent handling. When trimming seam allowances on curves or edges, leave at least 1/8” (3 mm) for extra strength.
• Lengthen your stitch length: Set your machine’s stitch length to 3.5 mm to accommodate the fabric’s stretch and thickness, ensuring smooth and even seams without puckering.
• Pin generously or use clips: To prevent fabric shifting, pin generously or use lots of fabric clips.
• Use a walking foot: A walking foot helps feed the fabric evenly through your machine, reducing slippage and preventing stretching while you sew.
