A down-fill quilted fabric (10) comprised of stitched lines (14) and tack stitches (15) as well as the method of fabrication of the fabric is described. A down-fill material (13) is disposed between fabric sheets (11, 12) which are secured together by stitched lines (14). A plurality of tack stitches (15) are disposed between the stitch lines to compress the down-fill material to reduce the thickness of the quilted fabric by at least twice the normal loft of the down-fill material while maintaining pliability of the fabric. The tack stitches (15) eliminate stitch lines which produce cold spots and which add rigidity to the fabric. Such quilted fabric may be used as outer or inner fabric pieces in the manufacture of articles of apparel (31), for the fabrication of bedding quilts (32) or other articles wherein an insulating fabric is desired.
