Product Information
Full details
This Deadstock Chantilly Tulle Lace fabric in Orange is an ideal choice for fashion designers and home sewists looking to add sophisticated texture to bridalwear or formal occasion garments. Its primary benefit lies in its lightweight, delicate floral design which provides excellent drape and layering potential for sleeves or yokes. As a limited-edition deadstock product, the primary caveat is that once current stock is depleted, it cannot be restocked, making it essential to purchase sufficient yardage for your intended project upfront.

FAQs
Is this fabric suitable for machine embroidery?
It is not recommended for heavy machine embroidery as the tulle base is too delicate and may tear under high-density stitching.
Does the fabric have any stretch?
No, this Chantilly Tulle is a stable, non-stretch fabric.
How should I press this fabric?
Use a low-heat setting on your iron and always use a pressing cloth to avoid melting the synthetic fibers.
Can I use this for children's wear?
While it is beautiful, the delicate openwork structure may snag easily, so it is best suited for formal children's occasion wear rather than everyday play clothes.
What is the best way to hem this tulle?
Since the edges do not fray easily due to the lace construction, you can often leave the edges raw or use a decorative rolled hem.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging during sewing
Use a fresh, sharp microtex needle and reduce the presser foot pressure to minimize friction.
Seams puckering
Use a stabilizer such as water-soluble stabilizer underneath the fabric while sewing, then wash it away afterward.
Thread bunching at the start of a seam
Hold the thread tails firmly behind the needle when starting your stitch to provide tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When working with this tulle, ensure your sewing machine throat plate and feed dogs are free of burrs to prevent snagging. It is recommended to use a French seam or a narrow zigzag stitch for durability without adding bulk. For care, this delicate fabric should be hand-washed in cool water with a mild detergent and laid flat to dry. Do not tumble dry or use harsh chemical bleaches, as the delicate openwork structure is prone to distortion under high heat or aggressive mechanical agitation.
