The Chloe Brocade is a woven fabric with no inherent stretch, making it ideal for structured garments.
The fabric measures 155cm in width.
Depending on your project, interfacing is recommended for garments that require extra structure, such as jacket fronts or bag panels.
Ensure your needle is new and sharp, and check your sewing machine throat plate for any rough edges or burrs.
Adjust your thread tension and ensure you are not pulling or stretching the fabric while feeding it through the machine.
To achieve the best results, prepare your fabric by ensuring your cutting table is clear, as the 155cm width is substantial. When cutting, pay close attention to the floral motif to ensure pattern alignment across seams. Use a universal sewing machine needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) and a standard stitch length. Due to the 100% polyester content, use a medium-heat setting on your iron and always use a press cloth to protect the decorative texture from accidental shine. This fabric must be dry cleaned only; do not attempt to machine wash, as the agitation and water may damage the intricate weave and the fabric's original crisp hand.
