FAQs

What is deadstock fabric?

Deadstock fabric refers to leftover materials from previous garment production runs that are saved from going to landfill. It's a more sustainable choice for crafters.

Can I use this fabric for children's clothing?

Yes, this lightweight, stretchy fabric is suitable for children's clothing, provided it meets safety standards for dyes and finishes.

How do I best store this fabric?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrancy of the neon color.

Is this fabric suitable for apparel that needs to breathe?

As a polyester jersey, it has limited breathability compared to natural fibers like cotton. It's best suited for activewear or garments where stretch and ease of care are priorities.

What projects would this fabric be best for?

Ideal for t-shirts, dresses, skirts, leggings, activewear, accessories like bags and headbands, and decorative home items.

How much fabric do I get?

The product is described as '1.5m Neon Jersey Stretch Knit Fabric', and it is available to order by the metre, meaning you can order continuous lengths.

What washing temperature is recommended?

It is recommended to wash the fabric at 40 degrees Celsius.

Troubleshooting

Fabric curls at the edges after cutting

This is common with knit fabrics. Use a walking foot on your sewing machine or staystitch the edges if needed.

Needle skipping stitches

Ensure you are using a ballpoint or jersey needle of the correct size for knits. Check that your machine is properly threaded.

Fabric feels too clingy

This is a characteristic of some polyester jerseys. Consider lining garments or pairing with less clingy fabrics. Adding an anti-static spray can help.

Color appears dull after washing

Wash in cold water and avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat during drying. Neon colors can naturally fade over time with extensive exposure to light and washing.
