FAQs
What does 'deadstock fabric' mean?
Deadstock fabric refers to leftover rolls of fabric from a mill or a brand's production run that did not sell. It's a sustainable way to use existing materials that would otherwise go to waste.
Is this fabric suitable for beginners?
While suitable for dressmaking, the delicate nature of mesh and the limited quantity might be more challenging for absolute beginners. Experience with handling lighter fabrics is beneficial.
Can I order more if I need a larger quantity?
No, this is a limited edition deadstock fabric. Once the available stock is sold, we cannot guarantee any further supply.
How should I care for this fabric?
It's best to hand wash or use a delicate cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Air dry and iron on a low heat setting to maintain fabric integrity.
What kind of projects is this fabric best for?
This fabric is ideal for unique dressmaking projects, including evening wear, overlays, decorative elements, or special occasion garments where a touch of luxury and exclusivity is desired.
Is the fuchsia color true to the image?
Colors can vary slightly on different screen displays. However, efforts are made to represent the color as accurately as possible. Pre-washing helps to ensure colorfastness.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging during sewing
Use a fine, sharp needle (e.g., size 70/10 or 80/12 universal or microtex) and ensure proper tension settings on your sewing machine. Avoid excessive pulling on the fabric while stitching.
Edges fraying excessively
Consider using a zigzag stitch, serger, or pinking shears on the seam allowances to contain fraying. Pre-washing may also help stabilize the fabric.
Difficulty cutting accurately
Use sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter with a fresh blade. Ensure the fabric is laid flat and smooth on a stable cutting surface.
Color transfer after washing
Always pre-wash new fabrics separately, especially bright or dark colors, in cold water to test for colorfastness. Use a color catcher if concerned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this is a fabric product, setup primarily refers to its preparation for sewing. It is recommended to pre-wash the fabric before cutting, following standard washing instructions for delicate or synthetic materials (cool water, gentle cycle). Compatibility is high for most standard sewing machines, but a fine needle (e.g., universal or microtex) is advised to prevent snagging the mesh. Care instructions typically involve hand washing or a delicate machine wash cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid high heat when drying; air drying is recommended. Ironing should be done on a low setting, possibly with a pressing cloth, to protect the fabric's texture and structure.
