Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this fabric waterproof?

It is water-repellent, meaning it provides protection against light rain, but it is not classified as fully waterproof for heavy downpours.

Can I use this for lightweight jackets?

Yes, its lightweight 120 gsm profile and breathable nature make it an excellent choice for windbreakers and light outer layers.

Does the fabric fray easily?

The tight Taslon weave is resistant to fraying compared to looser textiles, though finishing your edges with a zig-zag or serger is still recommended.

Is it suitable for sewing bags?

Absolutely. The structured handle provides the necessary rigidity for bagmaking and various outdoor accessories.

How should I clean items made from this fabric?

Wash in cool water on a gentle cycle and hang dry. Avoid bleaching and fabric softeners to protect the water-repellent finish.

Troubleshooting

Needle skipping stitches

Switch to a new, sharp Microtex needle and check that your stitch length is set between 2.5mm and 3.0mm.

Fabric slipping under the presser foot

Use a walking foot or a Teflon-coated presser foot to provide even pressure and prevent shifting.

Seams puckering

Ensure the tension is balanced and avoid pulling the fabric through the machine; let the feed dogs do the work.

Pros and Cons

  • Lightweight and breathable for all-day comfort
  • Water-repellent finish for unpredictable weather
  • Quick-drying properties ideal for travel gear
  • Versatile enough for both apparel and accessories

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Trevor Taslon project, use a sharp, high-quality needle (such as a 70/10 or 80/12 Microtex) to avoid damaging the dense weave. When pressing the fabric, use a low to medium heat setting with a pressing cloth, as high temperatures can compromise the water-repellent finish. For cleaning, machine wash in cool water on a gentle cycle and hang to dry; avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as they can reduce the technical properties of the material. Always perform a test stitch on a scrap piece of fabric to verify your machine tension before beginning your main project.
