No. As this is a deadstock product, once the current stock is sold, it will not be restocked.
Yes. The stable nature of scuba twill makes it easier to cut and sew compared to very lightweight or slippery knit fabrics.
It is recommended to pre-wash your fabric at 40C before sewing to stabilize it, as some minor shrinkage can occur.
A jersey or ballpoint needle is recommended to ensure smooth stitch formation without damaging the knit structure.
Air drying is generally recommended to maximize the lifespan of the fabric and maintain the elasticity of the stretch fibers.
Switch to a fresh jersey or stretch needle and ensure you are using the correct stitch length for knit fabrics.
While scuba twill is more stable than thin jersey, use sewing clips or pins spaced closely to manage the edges during construction.
Use a pressing cloth to protect the surface and avoid using extremely high heat, which could affect the synthetic fibers.
To ensure the longevity of your garment, wash the fabric at 40C before starting your project to account for any initial shrinkage. Due to its medium-to-heavy weight, it is recommended to use a standard jersey or ballpoint needle to avoid skipped stitches, despite the fabric's stability. When pressing, use a low to medium heat setting and test on a scrap piece to maintain the finish of the fabric. Avoid using heavy-duty tumble drying to preserve the elasticity of the knit fibers over time.
