Full details
Rose & Hubble Cotton Poplin in Navy is an ideal choice for garment makers, quilters, and home decor crafters looking for a reliable, high-quality 100% cotton fabric. Its standout benefit is its lightweight, easy-to-sew nature combined with OEKO-TEX certification, which guarantees the textile is free from harmful substances; however, users should note that the fabric is thin and may require a lining for specific garment projects to ensure full opacity.

FAQs
Is this fabric suitable for quilting?
Yes, its 100% cotton composition and stable weave make it an excellent choice for quilting and patchwork.
Can I order multiple metres as a single piece?
Yes, we cut the fabric from the roll as one continuous piece based on the total number of metres ordered.
Is the fabric opaque?
While it is a medium-weight poplin, it is slightly light. For garments where total opacity is required, you may consider adding a lightweight lining.
Does the fabric shrink?
Like most 100% cotton fabrics, it may shrink slightly during the first wash; pre-washing is always recommended.
What is the fabric width?
The fabric has an approximate width of 112.5cm, which is equivalent to 45 inches.
Troubleshooting
Fabric fraying excessively at cut edges
Apply a zigzag stitch or a serger finish to the raw edges immediately after cutting the fabric to the desired size.
Stitches appear uneven or puckered
Ensure your machine tension is set correctly for lightweight cotton and use a sharp, new needle to prevent the fabric from being pulled into the needle plate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your project remains in peak condition, follow these care instructions:
- Pre-washing: As with all 100% cotton fabrics, it is recommended to wash the fabric before sewing to allow for natural shrinkage.
- Washing: Machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius to maintain the vibrancy of the navy dye and the integrity of the cotton fibers.
- Ironing: Use a medium-hot iron setting; the fabric presses very easily and responds well to steam to remove deep creases.
- Compatibility: Best paired with standard universal sewing machine needles (size 70/10 or 80/12) and all-purpose polyester sewing thread.
