The base cloth is a high-quality cotton sateen.
The filling is 100% polyester wadding.
Yes, the fabric is designed to be reversible, meaning you can choose to use either the printed Brushstroke Blooms side or the plain cotton sateen side as the exterior of your project.
It is ideal for sewing warm garments like coats, jackets, and waistcoats, as well as skirts, bags, cushions, and other home accessories.
A new, heavy universal needle (e.g., size 90/14 or 100/16) is recommended for best results.
Dry cleaning is recommended. If machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent, then tumble dry on low or air dry.
At 365 grams per square meter, it is classified as heavy weight, indicating it has substantial thickness and density suitable for insulation.
Ensure you are using a new, heavy universal needle (size 90/14 or 100/16). Check that your machine is properly threaded and that the tension is correctly set for a heavier fabric.
Use a longer stitch length suitable for heavier fabrics. Ensure your sewing machine's feed dogs are functioning correctly and consider using a walking foot for even feeding of the multiple layers.
Use a larger sewing table or extension table to support the fabric. Avoid pulling or stretching the fabric; let the machine feed it through evenly. A free-motion or walking foot can help control the fabric.
Ensure the diamond quilting stitches are close enough together to secure the wadding. Follow recommended care instructions carefully, and avoid excessive agitation during washing.
Setup:
When preparing to sew, it is recommended to use a new, heavy universal needle (e.g., size 90/14 or 100/16) to easily penetrate the multiple layers of fabric and wadding without skipping stitches or causing damage.
Compatibility:
This fabric is compatible with most standard sewing machines. Due to its weight, it works best with projects that benefit from structure, such as coats, jackets, vests, skirts, bags, and home decor items like cushions. It is less suitable for very lightweight garments like blouses or flowing dresses.
Care:
For best results and to maintain the integrity of the quilting and fabric layers, dry cleaning is recommended. If machine washing is necessary, use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid using bleach. Iron on a low setting if needed, preferably on the cotton sateen side.
