While it can be used for some garments, its medium weight and texture make it particularly well-suited for crafting, home decor, and accessories rather than fine apparel.

Troubleshooting

Fabric fraying excessively when cut

Ensure you are using a very sharp blade (scissors or rotary cutter). Consider using a pinking shears for a decorative, less-fray edge on non-structural areas.

Creases from folding are difficult to remove

Iron on a low heat setting, preferably on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid high heat, which can damage the polyester fibers.

Uneven stitching or needle drag

Use a slightly longer stitch length and a universal sewing machine needle (size 80/12 or 90/14). Ensure your machine is correctly tensioned.
