FAQs

What does 'deadstock fabric' mean?

Deadstock fabric refers to leftover rolls of fabric from mills or unsold materials from brand production runs that are saved from being discarded or sent to landfill. It's a sustainable way to acquire high-quality textiles.

Is this fabric suitable for apparel?

Yes, as it is 100% cotton, it is breathable and comfortable, making it suitable for a wide range of apparel items like tops, dresses, skirts, and children's clothing.

How do I know if I can get more of this fabric later?

Due to its deadstock nature, availability is not guaranteed. Once a specific fabric is sold out, it is unlikely to be restocked. It is best to purchase the amount you need when available.

Can I use this fabric for home decor?

Absolutely. This fabric is excellent for projects like decorative pillows, quilt squares, tote bags, or other craft items where unique and sustainable materials are desired.

What is the best way to care for this fabric?

It is recommended to machine wash cold with like colors, tumble dry on low, and iron on a medium setting. Avoid bleach.

Why is deadstock fabric a sustainable choice?

By using deadstock fabrics, you are giving a second life to materials that might otherwise end up in landfill, thus reducing waste and the demand for new fabric production.

Are there any unique characteristics of deadstock fabrics?

Yes, deadstock fabrics often come from designer collections or luxury brands, offering unique patterns, colors, and quality that might be hard to find elsewhere. However, quantities are always limited.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

This is common with new fabrics. Repeated washing and ironing can soften the material over time. Ensure you are using a mild detergent.

Thread is catching or breaking during sewing.

Ensure you are using the correct needle size for cotton fabric (e.g., a universal needle size 80/12). Check that your machine is properly threaded and that the tension is correctly set.

Color appears slightly different from online image.

Monitor calibration can affect color representation. While efforts are made to accurately depict colors, slight variations are possible. This is inherent to the nature of displaying fabric online.

Limited yardage means project cannot be completed.

Carefully plan your project to maximize the available fabric. Consider incorporating complementary fabrics for larger pieces or adjust the design to fit the available yardage.
