Exhibit 31.1


                                 CERTIFICATIONS

I, Larry A. Liebenow, certify that:

       1.    I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Quaker Fabric
             Corporation;

       2.    Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any
             untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
             fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the
             circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading
             with respect to the period covered by this report;

       3.    Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
             financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly
             present in all material respects the financial condition, results
             of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the
             periods presented in this report;

       4.    The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible
             for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures
             (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) and
             internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange
             Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

                   a.     designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
                          caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be
                          designed under our supervision, to ensure that
                          material information relating to the registrant,
                          including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known
                          to us by others within those entities, particularly
                          during the period in which this report is being
                          prepared;

                   b.     designed such internal control over financial
                          reporting, or caused such internal control over
                          financial reporting to be designed under our
                          supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding
                          the reliability of financial reporting and the
                          preparation of financial statements for external
                          purposes in accordance with generally accepted
                          accounting principles;

                   c.     evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's
                          disclosure controls and procedures and presented in
                          this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of
                          the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end
                          of the period covered by this report based on such
                          evaluation;

                   d.     disclosed in this report any change in the
                          registrant's internal control over financial reporting
                          that occurred during the registrant's most recent
                          fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter
                          in the case of an annual report) that has materially
                          affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect
                          the registrant's internal control over financial
                          reporting; and

       5.    The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed,
             based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
             financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
             committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons
             performing the equivalent function):

                   a.     all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses
                          in the design or operation of internal controls over
                          financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
                          adversely affect the registrant's ability to record,
                          process, summarize and report financial information;
                          and

                   b.     any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
                          management or other employees who have a significant
                          role in the registrant's internal controls over
                          financial reporting.
