FAQs

Is this fabric suitable for beginners?

Yes, it is stable and easy to handle, though beginners should practice sewing on a scrap piece to get used to the stretch properties.

Will I receive a single continuous piece?

Yes, all multiple-meter orders are cut as one continuous length.

Does this fabric shrink?

As with most organic cottons, some minimal shrinkage may occur. Pre-washing as instructed helps mitigate this before sewing.

Can I use this for leggings?

While it has great stretch, the weight is more suited for tops, dresses, or bands. Leggings typically require higher spandex content for tighter compression.

Is the fabric color consistent?

Yes, the Rosewood color is dyed for consistency, but ensure you order enough for your whole project at once to avoid slight lot variations.

Troubleshooting

Skipped stitches during sewing

Ensure you are using a ballpoint or stretch-specific needle and verify that the needle size is appropriate for a medium-to-heavyweight knit.

Fabric wavy after sewing a seam

Adjust the presser foot pressure on your machine or use a walking foot to prevent the fabric from stretching while moving under the needle.

Unsure about yardage requirements

Because of the 110 cm width, measure your pattern pieces carefully against the fabric width to ensure you have enough meterage, as it is narrower than standard bolts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality organic cotton composition
  • Excellent stretch and reliable shape recovery
  • GOTS and OEKO-TEX certified
  • Substantial weight provides a professional finish
  • Beautiful and versatile rosewood color

Cons

  • Narrow width of 110 cm may limit layout options

  • Requires careful pre-washing to manage shrinkage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these guidelines:

  1. Pre-washing: Wash the fabric at 30 degrees Celsius before starting your project to settle the organic cotton fibers.
  2. Cutting: Take note of the 110 cm width; when laying out large patterns, you may need to adjust your grainline or piece placement compared to standard 140-150 cm wide fabrics.
  3. Sewing: Use a jersey or ballpoint needle size 70/10 or 80/12. A stretch stitch or a small zig-zag stitch is recommended to accommodate the fabric's natural movement.
  4. Care: Maintain the quality by washing at 30 degrees. Avoid harsh bleaches and tumble drying at high temperatures to preserve the color and fiber integrity.
