Does this fabric have any stretch?

No, this is a non-stretch woven fabric, which is perfect for structured garments and quilts.

The fabric width is 105cm.

Can I use this for children's clothes?

Absolutely, the soft, natural brushed cotton is very gentle and comfortable for children's wear.

How should I wash this fabric?

It is machine washable; we recommend washing in cool or warm water and drying on a low setting.

Will this fabric shrink?

As it is a natural cotton fiber, it may shrink slightly. Always pre-wash your fabric before cutting your pattern.

Troubleshooting

Fabric fraying excessively while handling

Use a zigzag stitch or an overlocker on raw edges immediately after cutting to prevent fraying.

Stitches puckering on the fabric

Adjust your machine's thread tension and ensure you are using a sharp, fresh sewing machine needle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally soft and cozy hand-feel
  • Easy to cut and sew due to its stable structure
  • Breathable natural cotton fiber composition
  • Versatile for apparel, home decor, and craft projects
  • Simple machine-washable maintenance

Cons

  • Non-stretch fabric is not suitable for form-fitting styles
  • Narrower width of 105cm requires careful layout planning
  • Cotton flannel can be prone to slight shrinkage if not pre-washed

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before you begin your project, it is highly recommended to pre-wash your fabric as you would the finished garment to account for any natural fiber shrinkage. Use a standard universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12 is usually sufficient) for the best stitch results.

When calculating your yardage, keep in mind the 105cm width; you may need to purchase more meterage than you would for standard 150cm wide fabrics to accommodate your pattern pieces. For care, this fabric is machine washable. Wash in cool or warm water with like colors and tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry to maintain the integrity of the brushed fibers over time.
