FAQs

What does 'deadstock fabric' mean?

Deadstock fabric refers to leftover rolls of fabric that remain unsold by mills or are remnants from production runs. Using deadstock is a sustainable practice that prevents these materials from ending up in landfills.

Why is this fabric limited edition?

These fabrics are sourced as deadstock, meaning they are existing materials that are not being produced anymore. Once a particular roll or batch is gone, it cannot be replenished, making each fabric limited.

Can I get more of this fabric if I run out?

Unfortunately, no. Due to the unique and limited nature of deadstock sourcing, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to get any more of a specific fabric once it has sold out. We advise purchasing enough for your project initially.

What types of projects is this fabric best suited for?

This Glitter Satin Lace is ideal for special occasion garments like evening wear, formal dresses, decorative accents, or unique fashion accessories where its luxurious texture and sparkle can be showcased.

How should I care for this fabric to maintain its quality?

Generally, hand wash in cold water or use a delicate machine cycle with mild detergent. Air dry flat or line dry. Avoid high heat, bleach, and harsh chemicals to preserve the glitter and lace.

Is this fabric suitable for beginners?

While beautiful, the delicate nature of lace and glitter, combined with limited yardage, may present challenges for absolute beginners. Intermediate sewers familiar with handling delicate fabrics will likely find it more manageable.

Where do these luxury designer textiles come from?

These textiles are often sourced from luxury design houses or high-end high street brands that have leftover fabric from their own production runs.

Troubleshooting

Fabric snagging during cutting or sewing.

Use very sharp fabric shears or a rotary cutter. When sewing, ensure your machine is threaded correctly with appropriate thread and use a walking foot or tissue paper under the fabric to prevent it from being pulled down into the feed dogs.

Glitter is shedding excessively.

Gently shake the fabric outside before cutting. Consider using a fabric spray sealant specifically designed for textiles on the wrong side of the fabric after construction to help secure loose glitter.

Limited yardage requires careful pattern placement.

Carefully plan your pattern layout to maximize the use of the fabric. Consider using contrasting or complementary fabrics for larger pattern pieces or combining multiple smaller pieces for accents.

Uncertainty about fabric composition for care.

Perform a small burn test on a scrap piece if possible to determine fiber content (e.g., natural fibers burn differently than synthetics). When in doubt, err on the side of caution with cold water and air drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As this is a fabric, setup primarily refers to preparation before sewing. It is recommended to pre-wash or pre-treat the fabric according to its suspected fiber content (e.g., gentle cycle for synthetics, cold water for delicates) to account for any potential shrinkage or color bleed, especially given its unique origins. Compatibility is broad; this fabric can be used for apparel, home decor accents, or crafts. For best results, use fine needles appropriate for delicate fabrics (e.g., 60/8 or 70/10 sharps or microtex needles). Care instructions will vary based on the specific fiber composition, but generally, hand washing in cold water or a gentle machine cycle with like colors, followed by air drying or laying flat, is advised to preserve the glitter and lace detail. Avoid high heat and harsh detergents.
