FAQs

What type of projects is this fabric best suited for?

This fabric is ideal for garments like dresses, skirts, blouses, and tops that benefit from a bit of stretch and a luxurious finish. It's also great for accessories such as scarves and bags, and for home decor items like cushion covers.

How should I wash this fabric?

You should wash this fabric at 30 degrees Celsius, preferably on a gentle cycle. Avoid high temperatures during washing and drying.

Can I iron this fabric?

Yes, you can iron this fabric on a low heat setting. It's best to iron on the reverse side or use a pressing cloth to protect the satin finish.

What does 'sold by the metre' mean?

It means the fabric is priced and sold in units of one meter length. When you order multiple metres, it will be cut as one continuous piece from the roll.

What is the width of the fabric?

The fabric has a width of approximately 148cm or 59 inches.

Is this fabric suitable for beginners?

Yes, while the satin finish requires some care, the stretch and lightweight nature make it manageable for beginner sewers. Pre-washing and careful cutting are recommended.

What is the composition of the fabric?

The fabric is composed of 95% polyester and 5% elastane.

Troubleshooting

Fabric is fraying excessively at the cut edge.

Use a sharp rotary cutter or fabric scissors for clean cuts. Consider finishing the raw edges with a serger, zigzag stitch, or pinking shears if fraying is a concern for your project.

Satin sheen is being damaged during ironing.

Always iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Use a low heat setting and a pressing cloth to protect the smooth surface from direct heat and potential scorching or flattening of the weave.

Fabric feels too thin for the intended garment.

Consider using a lightweight lining fabric such as silk habotai or a fine polyester lining. This will add body and opacity without compromising the overall drape.
