Yes, its stability as a woven fabric makes it easier to handle than slippery knits, though the stretch component requires attention to stitch choice.
It is recommended to air dry or dry on a low-heat setting to avoid damaging the brushed surface and to preserve the elasticity.
Like most cotton-based fabrics, some minor shrinkage can occur. It is highly recommended to pre-wash the fabric before sewing your project.
Yes, all fabric ordered by the metre is cut from the roll as one continuous piece.
It is best suited for trousers, skirts, structured dresses, lightweight jackets, and soft home decor accessories.
Adjust your machine tension or reduce the presser foot pressure to prevent the fabric from stretching during the stitching process.
Use a serger or a zigzag stitch on raw edges immediately after cutting to maintain structural integrity.
To ensure your project remains in top condition, proper preparation is essential. Pre-wash your fabric using the recommended 30-degree cycle to account for any initial shrinkage before cutting. When sewing, use a needle appropriate for medium-weight stretch fabrics, such as a ballpoint or universal needle in size 80/12 or 90/14.
Because this is a stretch-woven material, use a slight zigzag stitch or a dedicated stretch stitch to ensure seams remain flexible. Avoid using excessive heat when ironing; always test a small corner on the lowest setting first to protect the brushed finish. When ordering, remember that the fabric is sold by the metre as a continuous length, so calculate your requirements carefully to include seam allowances.
