FAQs

Is this fabric suitable for outdoor wear?

It is great for light outdoor use such as dry autumn days, but it is not waterproof or windproof.

Does this fabric have any stretch?

The cuddle fleece has a soft, plush structure that offers minimal mechanical stretch, making it stable for most projects.

Can I iron this fabric?

Use extreme caution. It is best to avoid direct heat from an iron, which can crush the plush pile. Use steam from a distance if you need to remove wrinkles.

Is it safe for pet products?

Yes, its durability and anti-pilling properties make it a popular and safe choice for pet blankets and soft bedding.

Does it need a lining?

Because the interior is soft and comfortable, a lining is optional; however, a slippery lining like satin or rayon can make jackets easier to put on and take off.

Troubleshooting

Skipped stitches while sewing

Switch to a fresh universal or ballpoint needle and ensure your presser foot pressure is correctly adjusted.

Fabric layers sliding apart

Use plenty of sewing clips rather than pins to hold the thick layers in place without damaging the pile.

Edges fraying excessively

Use a serger or an overlock stitch on your sewing machine to finish the raw edges immediately after cutting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally soft feel against the skin
  • Anti-pilling finish ensures longevity
  • Excellent heat retention for cold-weather projects
  • Wide 150cm format maximizes fabric usage
  • Simple machine-washable maintenance

Cons

  • Heavier weight requires specific sewing machine needles
  • Thicker fabric may be challenging for intricate details
  • Requires careful pressing to avoid flattening the plush surface

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your project remains in top condition, always pre-wash the fabric to account for minor shrinkage. Use a universal 80/12 or 90/14 needle depending on how many layers you are sewing together. For the best results, use a longer stitch length (approx 3.0mm) to allow the fabric to feed through the machine without puckering.

Care instructions are straightforward: machine wash the finished items at 30C. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners that may build up on the plush fibers, and air dry whenever possible to preserve the texture of the fleece. If you must use a dryer, select a low-heat, delicate setting.
