FAQs

Is this fabric suitable for beginners?

Yes, while the texture adds a premium feel, the knit is stable and easy to manage if you use the correct needle and stitch settings.

Can I tumble dry this fabric?

It is not recommended. To preserve the elastane and the texture, air dry the fabric flat.

How is the fabric delivered?

The fabric is cut from the roll and supplied as a continuous piece according to the number of metres ordered.

Is the fabric opaque?

Yes, due to its 260 gsm weight, it provides excellent coverage and is generally opaque in most garment applications.

What is the primary content of this fabric?

It is made of 95% organic cotton and 5% elastane.

Does the fabric have a heavy drape?

It has a structured, medium-to-heavy drape, making it perfect for items that need to hold a shape rather than flowing loosely.

Troubleshooting

Fabric edges curling while sewing

Use a light starch or apply a strip of wash-away stabilizer to the seam allowance before sewing to provide stability.

Skipped stitches during assembly

Switch to a fresh ballpoint or jersey needle and ensure the presser foot pressure is adjusted correctly for knit fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your garments made with this fabric, please follow these guidelines:

  1. Pre-washing: Always pre-wash the fabric at 30 degrees Celsius to account for any initial shrinkage before cutting your patterns.
  2. Needle Selection: Use a ballpoint needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) to prevent pulling the delicate knit fibers.
  3. Stitch Choice: Utilize a narrow zigzag stitch or a dedicated stretch stitch on your machine to ensure the seams can expand with the fabric.
  4. Maintenance: Machine wash at 30 degrees using a mild detergent. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this may compromise the elastane fibers; air drying flat is the best practice to maintain shape.
