This fabric is 150cm wide.
While it requires specific cutting techniques to avoid shedding, its medium-weight nature makes it relatively easy to manage compared to very long or delicate faux furs.
Ensure you are cutting only the fabric backing with short, sharp scissors rather than hacking through the pile.
Use extra pins or sewing clips to secure the layers, and consider using a walking foot or Teflon foot to improve fabric feed.
Gently brush the fabric with a soft-bristled brush once dry to restore the original fluffiness of the pile.
To achieve the best results, use sharp, pointed scissors to cut only the fabric backing rather than the pile itself. This technique significantly reduces shedding and ensures a cleaner, more professional edge. When sewing, use a walking foot if available to help feed the multiple layers evenly. For care, ensure the fabric is washed at no higher than 40°C to maintain the integrity of the fibers. The fabric is compatible with standard tumble drying, which can help fluff the pile after washing.
