FAQs
Does this fabric have any stretch?
This fabric is generally stable with little to no stretch, making it ideal for structured overlays rather than form-fitting garments.
Is the fabric sheer?
Yes, it is a lace fabric with an openwork design, so it will require an opaque lining or under-layer for modesty.
Can I put this fabric in the dryer?
No, machine drying is not recommended as the heat and agitation can damage the delicate lace and the sequin embellishments.
Will I be able to purchase more if I run out?
Because this is a deadstock fabric, it is limited to the current supply and cannot be restocked once sold out.
What type of needle should I use?
A universal or sharp needle in a small size (such as 70/10 or 80/12) is recommended to avoid snagging the lace.
Troubleshooting
Needle breaking during stitching
Remove the sequins along the seam allowance area before sewing to allow the needle to pass through the lace only.
Seams appearing bulky
Trim the seam allowances close and consider using a French seam or a bias tape finish to manage the edges effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your project remains in top condition, always use a sharp, fine-gauge needle suitable for delicate fabrics. When cutting the fabric, use sharp scissors and be mindful of the sequin placement to avoid dulling your blades. For cleaning, hand washing is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the lace and the attachment of the sequins. Avoid high-heat ironing directly on the sequins, as this can cause them to melt or lose their luster; instead, press from the back using a low temperature and a pressing cloth. Always perform a test swatch before beginning your final project.
