As a 100% cotton fabric, it may experience slight shrinkage during the first wash. Pre-washing before cutting is strongly advised.
Yes, its firm hand and durable weight make it an excellent choice for tote bags and satchels.
The fabric has an approximate weight of 230gsm.
Yes, this fabric is sold per metre, allowing you to purchase exactly the amount needed for your specific project.
The fabric is 140cm (56 inches) wide.
Apply a zigzag stitch or an overlock stitch to all raw edges immediately after cutting to prevent unravelling.
Ensure you are using a sharp, heavy-duty needle and check that your thread tension is properly calibrated for medium-weight fabrics.
Use a walking foot to ensure even feeding of the fabric layers, or increase your stitch length slightly.
Before beginning your project, it is highly recommended to pre-wash the fabric to account for minor shrinkage common with 100% cotton. Use a universal needle size 90/14 or 100/16 to accommodate the medium weight of the duck canvas. When pressing, use a medium-hot iron with steam to achieve a crisp finish. The fabric is machine washable; however, wash in cool to lukewarm water and air dry or tumble dry on a low setting to preserve the integrity of the fibers over time.
