FAQs

Is this fabric suitable for making baby clothes?

Yes, absolutely. The fabric is 100% cotton and certified Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, meaning it is free from harmful chemicals and safe for sensitive skin, making it ideal for baby garments and accessories.

What is the width of the fabric?

The fabric is 145cm wide, providing a generous amount for most sewing projects.

Can I use this fabric for upholstery?

While durable, this fabric is primarily recommended for quilting, apparel, and crafts. For larger upholstery projects, its 145cm width might require seams, and a fabric specifically designed for upholstery may offer greater durability.

How do I care for the fabric to maintain its color?

Machine wash at 40°C. Use a low heat setting for tumble drying. The dyes are fade-resistant, but washing dark or vibrant colors separately for the first wash is a good practice.

What does Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certification mean?

It means the fabric has been tested and certified to be free from harmful substances, ensuring it is safe for human health and environmentally sound.

Is this fabric suitable for beginners?

Yes, the high-quality weave makes it easy to cut and sew, making it a great choice for beginner sewers and crafters.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels stiff after purchase

Pre-wash the fabric before cutting and sewing. This will soften the material and remove any finishing agents.

Colors bleed during the first wash

While fade-resistant, it's advisable to wash new colors separately for the very first wash, especially deep or vibrant shades, to ensure color fastness.

Thread tension issues while sewing

Ensure your sewing machine needle is appropriate for cotton fabric and is sharp. Adjust thread tension as needed, and check that the fabric is feeding smoothly.

Shrinkage after washing

Always pre-wash your fabric before cutting and incorporating it into your project to allow for any potential shrinkage. This ensures the final product maintains its intended dimensions.
