Yes, its medium weight and stable weave make it very easy to cut, pin, and sew.
It is recommended to air dry to prevent heat damage to the stretch fibers and preserve the brushed texture.
It is available by the metre and is cut as a continuous length directly from the roll.
It means the fabric has been tested for harmful substances and is confirmed to be safe for human health.
Washing at the recommended 30 degrees and avoiding harsh detergents will help maintain the deep color for longer.
Ensure you are using a sharp universal needle and check that your stitch length is appropriate for the fabric weight.
Use a serger or a zigzag stitch on the raw edges immediately after cutting to stabilize the fabric.
Always pre-wash and dry the fabric in the same way you intend to wash the finished garment to ensure consistent sizing.
To ensure the best results, pre-wash the fabric before cutting to account for any initial shrinkage. Use a universal needle (size 80/12 or 90/14 recommended) and a standard stitch length of 2.5mm.
