          Quaker Announces Sourcing and Distribution Deal with Daewoo


     FALL RIVER, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 15, 2006--QUAKER FABRIC
CORPORATION (NASDAQ Symbol: QFAB) today announced the signing of a sourcing and
distribution agreement with Daewoo International, a Korean manufacturer of
velvet and microdenier sueded fabrics for the furniture industry.
     "This deal augments the much broader strategic agreement we signed last
month with Hangzhou Zhongwang in China and represents another step in our
overall strategy to generate incremental sales by putting a limited number of
complementary offshore sourcing programs in place. Teaming up with Daewoo is
important to us because, for the past several years, imported leather and
microdenier sueded products have been costing us substantial sales and share in
the domestic market. This is our chance to recapture at least a portion of that
business by merging our domestic and international distribution capabilities
with Daewoo's production capacity and manufacturing expertise in the velvet and
microdenier suede categories - which we cannot do from our Fall River,
Massachusetts base," commented Larry A. Liebenow, Quaker's President and CEO.
     "At the same time we are committed to strengthening and growing the
business we generate out of our Fall River production facilities and we are
continuing to design lots of fabrics for the domestic and international
residential markets with that in mind. We have also launched a number of
initiatives, such as our new outdoor fabric and contract furniture programs,
which are intended to build our revenues by leveraging our technological
expertise to expand the markets we serve," Mr. Liebenow added.

     Quaker Fabric Corporation is a leading manufacturer of woven upholstery
fabrics for furniture markets in the United States and abroad, and the largest
producer of Jacquard upholstery fabric in the world.
