FAQs

What projects is the Jordan Quilt fabric best suited for?

It is ideal for heavier garments like jackets, coats, and outerwear due to its warmth and waterproof properties. It can also be used for durable accessories.

How should I wash this fabric?

We recommend washing at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Air drying or tumble drying on a low setting is best.

Is this fabric suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the thicker filling compared to other quilts makes it a perfect choice for warmer jackets and coats, providing excellent insulation for cooler temperatures.

What is the exact fabric composition?

The outer shell is made of 52% Cotton, 35% Polyester, and 13% Nylon. The lining is 100% Polyester.

Can this fabric be used for upholstery?

While durable, this fabric is primarily designed for dressmaking and apparel. Its weight and texture might not be optimal for most upholstery applications, which often require different abrasion resistance standards.

How does the Jordan Quilt differ from the Thelma Quilt?

The Jordan Quilt has a thicker filling, making it more suitable for warmer jackets and coats, whereas the Thelma Quilt is typically lighter.

What does '380gsm' mean?

GSM stands for 'grams per square meter'. A higher GSM indicates a heavier, denser fabric, which in this case contributes to its warmth and durability.

Troubleshooting

Fabric is difficult to cut accurately.

Use a rotary cutter and cutting mat for cleaner, more precise cuts. Ensure your cutting surface is stable and allow the fabric to lay flat without draping.

Sewing machine struggles with the fabric's thickness.

Use a heavier-duty needle (e.g., size 100/16 or 110/18) and a strong thread. Consider using a walking foot to help feed the fabric evenly.

Waterproof finish seems compromised after washing.

Ensure you are washing at 30 degrees and avoiding fabric softeners or bleach, which can degrade the finish. Re-apply a fabric-specific waterproofing spray if necessary after drying.

Lining material snags during sewing.

Use a finer needle and ensure your machine tension is correctly set. Apply a small amount of quilting spray or a silicone-based lubricant to the needle (not the fabric) if persistent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Care:

  • Recommended wash at 30 degrees Celsius.
  • Avoid harsh detergents or bleaching agents.
  • Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to preserve the fabric's properties.
  • Iron on a low setting if necessary.
