Yes, its softness and warmth make it an excellent choice for children's sweatshirts, jackets, and winter accessories.
This fleece has minimal mechanical stretch, making it very stable and easy to work with for structured projects.
It is recommended to air dry to protect the plush texture, but if you must use a dryer, use the lowest heat setting possible.
The fabric has a medium-to-heavy weight of approximately 260gsm.
Pre-washing is recommended to account for any minor shrinkage and to ensure your finished project remains true to size after its first wash.
While warm, it is better suited for layering pieces like sweatshirts or jackets rather than a heavy outer winter coat, unless it is lined or used as an insulating mid-layer.
Use plenty of pins or clips to hold layers together and employ a walking foot attachment for even feeding.
Grade your seam allowances by trimming one side of the seam to half the width before pressing open.
Ensure you are using a sharp needle and increase the stitch length slightly to accommodate the fabric thickness.
When working with this fabric, use a standard ballpoint or universal needle (size 80/12 or 90/14) to prevent snagging the plush fibers. For best results, use a polyester thread which will flex with the fabric. To maintain the integrity of the plush pile, wash the fabric at 30C in a gentle cycle. Avoid using high heat when drying or ironing, as this can crush the pile or potentially melt the synthetic fibers. If pressing is necessary, use a press cloth and a low-temperature iron setting from the reverse side.
