FAQs

What is the width of this fabric?

This fabric has a width of approximately 110cm.

Is this fabric suitable for beginners?

Can I put this fabric in the dryer?

To maintain the quality and stretch of the elastane fibers, it is recommended to wash at 30 degrees and air dry.

Does the fabric come in one piece?

Yes, when you order by the metre, it is delivered as a single continuous length.

What is the weight of the fabric?

The fabric is a medium-to-heavy weight at 335 gsm.

Is this fabric ethically sourced?

Yes, it is GOTS and OEKO-TEX certified, verifying it meets high environmental and social standards.

Troubleshooting

Fabric curling at the edges during cutting

Use starch or a temporary spray adhesive on the selvage edges to stabilize the knit before cutting.

Skipped stitches while sewing

Switch to a fresh ballpoint needle specifically designed for stretch fabrics and ensure your thread tension is balanced.

Seams stretching out or waving

Use a walking foot or reduce the pressure on your presser foot to prevent the fabric from being overstretched during feeding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High structural weight for durable garments
  • GOTS and OEKO-TEX certified for environmental peace of mind
  • Superior shape recovery thanks to 5% elastane content
  • Breathable and comfortable organic cotton fibers
  • Professional finish suitable for cuffs and neckbands

Cons

  • Narrower width (110cm) requires careful layout planning
  • Heavier weight may not be suitable for light, flowy silhouettes
  • Requires specific temperature care to maintain elasticity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal results, always pre-wash the fabric according to the manufacturer's instructions at 30 degrees to account for any initial fiber relaxation. When sewing, use a ballpoint or jersey needle to prevent skipped stitches or fabric damage. Given its 110cm width, consider placing your pattern pieces efficiently, possibly using a 'nap' layout if necessary. Always store the fabric in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the Sage Green color depth.
