FAQs

What does 'deadstock fabric' mean?

Deadstock fabric refers to leftover rolls of fabric that were not sold by a mill or brand. Using deadstock fabric is a sustainable choice as it prevents these materials from ending up in landfills.

Is this fabric suitable for beginners?

While the fabric itself is beautiful, its delicate nature and limited supply might make it more suitable for intermediate sewers. Beginners may find it challenging to handle without snagging or damaging it. Practicing on a scrap piece is recommended.

Can I buy more if I need a larger quantity?

Due to the nature of deadstock, availability is limited. Once this specific fabric is sold out, we cannot guarantee that more will be available. It is advisable to purchase the full amount needed for your project at once.

What is the best way to store this fabric?

Store the fabric folded or rolled in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To protect the embroidery and delicate fibers, consider wrapping it in acid-free tissue paper.

How can I be sure of the fabric's composition?

While we aim to provide as much detail as possible, the exact fiber content of deadstock fabrics can sometimes be difficult to ascertain definitively. It is always best to test a small swatch if precise composition is critical for your project.

Can this fabric be used for upholstery or heavy-duty items?

This fabric is a delicate embroidered lace, generally not suitable for heavy-duty use like upholstery. It is best suited for apparel, accessories, and decorative accents where its fine texture and design can be showcased.

Troubleshooting

Fabric snags or pulls during sewing.

Ensure you are using a fine, sharp needle and appropriate thread. Slow down your sewing speed and consider using a walking foot. Test stitching on a scrap piece first.

Embroidery threads appear loose or damaged.

Handle the fabric with care. If threads are loose, try gently securing them from the back with a few small hand stitches. Avoid excessive friction or pulling.

Fabric appears to shrink unexpectedly after initial handling.

Always pre-wash or pre-treat fabric before cutting, even if just handling it. Use cool water and a gentle method. For future projects, factor in slight shrinkage.

Color transfer or bleeding noted during washing.

Wash separately in cold water with a mild detergent. If bleeding occurs, rinse thoroughly and air dry immediately. For future washes, always wash this fabric alone.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As this is a fabric, setup primarily refers to preparation before sewing. Compatibility is broad, but care should be taken due to its delicate nature.

Preparation:

  1. Pre-washing: It is highly recommended to pre-wash or pre-treat the fabric before cutting to account for any potential shrinkage or color bleed, especially if the exact fiber content is unknown. Use a gentle cycle with cool water and a mild detergent.
  2. Ironing: Iron on a low to medium heat setting, preferably on the reverse side, using a pressing cloth to protect the embroidery and delicate fibers.

Compatibility:

  • This fabric is compatible with most standard sewing machines. However, use a fine needle appropriate for delicate fabrics (e.g., size 60/8 or 70/10 universal or microtex needle) to avoid snagging or damaging the threads.
  • Consider using a walking foot or a roller foot for smoother fabric feeding during sewing.

Care:

  • Washing: Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent is the safest method. Alternatively, machine wash on a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag.
  • Drying: Air dry flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid machine drying as high heat can damage the fibers and embroidery.
  • Stain Removal: Treat any stains gently and promptly. Test any cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
