FAQs
Is this fabric suitable for heavy-duty winter coats?
Yes, its durability makes it suitable for lining coats, provided it is properly reinforced at high-stress seams.
Does this fabric fray easily?
Like most synthetic linings, it can fray if handled roughly; it is best to finish raw edges with a serger or zig-zag stitch.
Can I use this for bags?
Yes, its smooth texture and strength make it an excellent choice for lining tote bags, handbags, and clutches.
What does deadstock mean?
Deadstock refers to leftover fabric from fashion houses or mills that was not used in original production, making it a sustainable, limited-quantity option.
How should I wash this fabric?
Follow standard care for delicate synthetic blends: machine wash cool on a gentle cycle and hang to dry.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging during machine sewing
Check your needle for burrs or blunt tips and switch to a new Microtex needle.
Fabric shifting under the presser foot
Use a walking foot or reduce presser foot pressure to ensure even feed.
Static build-up in the finished garment
Use a laundry conditioner during the initial wash or rub the lining with a dryer sheet.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Adds a professional finish to handmade garments
- Enhanced comfort due to inherent stretch properties
- Prevents outer fabrics from clinging or bunching
- Lightweight enough for delicate items yet durable for coats

Cons
- Limited stock availability as it is a deadstock product
- May require specific needles to prevent snags during construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, pre-wash the fabric according to the care instructions for the outer garment to avoid future shrinkage discrepancies. When sewing, use a sharp, fine-point sewing machine needle to prevent damage to the delicate weave. Because this is a synthetic blend, use a medium-heat setting on your iron and always test on a scrap piece first; a pressing cloth is recommended to prevent shiny marks on the fabric surface. It is compatible with most standard garment construction techniques, including flat-lining and bag-lining methods.
