FAQs

What is the weight of this fleece fabric?

This is a heavyweight fleece fabric with a weight of 265 gsm (grams per square metre).

Can I order less than a metre?

Fabric is cut from the roll and available to order by the metre. You must order in whole metre increments.

How do I wash this fabric?

The fabric can be machine washed at 40 degrees Celsius. Do not use bleach.

Is this fabric suitable for children's clothing?

Yes, it is suitable for children's projects like soft toys and cozy loungewear, provided it is used according to safety guidelines for children's sleepwear (e.g., considering flame retardancy if applicable).

What does 'Embossed Dimple' mean?

It refers to a textured surface where a pattern of small, rounded indentations (dimples) has been pressed into the fabric, creating a raised or sunken effect.

Will the fabric shrink after washing?

It is recommended to pre-wash the fabric before use. While polyester is generally stable, pre-washing helps to ensure any potential shrinkage occurs before cutting.

What kind of projects is this fabric best for?

It is ideal for warm and cozy items such as blankets, throws, scarves, hats, pet beds, and soft toys due to its plushness and warmth.

Troubleshooting

Fabric shedding excessively during cutting.

Use very sharp scissors or a rotary cutter. Cut on a flat surface and consider using a lint roller or vacuum immediately after cutting to clean up loose fibers.

Sewing machine skipping stitches.

Ensure you are using the correct needle size (90/14 or 100/16) and that it is new. Check your machine's tension settings and consider using a walking foot if available to help feed the fabric evenly.

Finished project feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are washing at 40 degrees Celsius and not using harsh detergents or bleach. A fabric softener can help restore softness. Air drying or a low-heat tumble dry is often better than high heat.

Embosed pattern is flattening.

Avoid excessive heat when ironing. If ironing is necessary, use the coolest setting and place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric. Focus on the wrong side of the fabric.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable and easy to work with for a variety of craft applications.
  • Generous width makes it suitable for larger projects like blankets.

Cons

  • Requires specific washing at 40 degrees Celsius, which might limit some cleaning methods.
  • As a plush fleece, it may shed slightly during cutting and initial use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This fabric comes cut from the roll, available to order by the metre. It is supplied as one continuous piece, simplifying the process for larger projects. No specific setup is required other than preparing your cutting space and sewing tools.

Compatibility:

  • Sewing Machines: Compatible with most standard sewing machines. Use a universal needle (size 90/14 or 100/16) and a slightly longer stitch length (around 3.0mm) for best results.
  • Thread: A polyester or cotton-polyester blend thread is recommended for durability.
  • Adhesives: Fabric glues suitable for fleece can be used for no-sew projects or embellishments.
  • Cutting Tools: Sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter are recommended for clean cuts.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius. Avoid using bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry for best results.
  • Ironing: While generally not necessary, if ironing is required, use a cool iron setting. *Test on a small, inconspicuous area first.*
  • Pre-washing: It is recommended to pre-wash the fabric before cutting and sewing to account for any potential shrinkage and to remove any finishing agents from the manufacturing process.
