FAQs

Is this fabric suitable for beginners?

Yes, its stability as a woven fabric makes it easier to handle than slippery knits, though the stretch component requires attention to stitch choice.

Can I tumble dry this fabric?

It is recommended to air dry or dry on a low-heat setting to avoid damaging the brushed surface and to preserve the elasticity.

Does the fabric shrink?

Like most cotton-based fabrics, some minor shrinkage can occur. It is highly recommended to pre-wash the fabric before sewing your project.

Can I order multiple metres in one piece?

Yes, all fabric ordered by the metre is cut from the roll as one continuous piece.

What kind of projects work best with this?

It is best suited for trousers, skirts, structured dresses, lightweight jackets, and soft home decor accessories.

Troubleshooting

Seams appear wavy or puckered

Adjust your machine tension or reduce the presser foot pressure to prevent the fabric from stretching during the stitching process.

Fabric fraying excessively

Use a serger or a zigzag stitch on raw edges immediately after cutting to maintain structural integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Soft-to-the-touch brushed finish provides high comfort levels
  • Stretch weave facilitates a more forgiving and ergonomic fit
  • Certified free of harmful substances via OEKO-TEX standard
  • Versatile 230 gsm weight works well for diverse project types
  • Wide fabric width allows for larger pattern pieces without seams

Cons

  • Requires gentle low-temperature washing to prevent damage
  • Stretch material requires specific sewing techniques to prevent puckering
  • Limited to a specific ginger colorway

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
