FAQs

What type of projects is this fabric best suited for?

This fabric is ideal for creating warm outerwear like coats and jackets, as well as cozy items such as waistcoats, skirts, bags, cushions, and other home accessories.

Can I use either side as the 'right' side?

Yes, the fabric is designed to be reversible. You can choose to have the printed Wildflower Fusion side or the plain cotton sateen side as the exterior of your project.

What is the filling between the fabric layers?

The filling is 100% polyester wadding, which provides insulation and a quilted effect.

What needle size should I use?

We recommend using a new, heavy universal needle for best sewing results with this fabric.

How do I care for this fabric?

Spot cleaning is recommended. If machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry flat. Avoid high heat.

Is the fabric breathable?

The outer layers are 100% cotton sateen, which is a natural and breathable fiber. The polyester wadding provides insulation.

Troubleshooting

Skipped stitches or needle breaking

Ensure you are using a new, heavy universal needle (size appropriate for quilting or denim). Check that your sewing machine is set to a straight stitch and that the tension is correctly balanced.

Fabric puckering or bunching during sewing

Use a longer stitch length. Ensure you are guiding the fabric gently and not pulling it through the machine. A walking foot can also help with even feeding of multiple layers.

Difficulty cutting thick layers

Use a sharp rotary cutter and a self-healing mat, or high-quality fabric shears. Cut one layer at a time if necessary, or use pattern weights to keep the fabric from shifting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers two distinct looks due to its reversible nature.
  • Provides excellent insulation for warmth in cooler conditions.
  • Durable and structured due to its quilted construction.
  • Made with natural cotton fiber for comfort.
  • Versatile for a wide range of sewing projects beyond just apparel.

Cons

  • Heavyweight nature may require a stronger sewing machine and needles.
  • Requires careful handling during cutting and sewing due to its thickness.
  • The polyester wadding may not be suitable for those seeking purely natural fiber projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results when sewing with this heavyweight fabric, it is recommended to use a new, heavy universal needle. Ensure your sewing machine is capable of handling thicker materials. Pre-washing is not explicitly recommended for this type of composite fabric, but always test a small swatch first if attempting to wash before cutting. For care, spot cleaning is advisable for minor stains. If machine washing is necessary, use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent, and air dry flat. Avoid high heat, as it can damage the wadding and cotton fibers.
