This fabric is primarily designed as a lining material for dresses and blouses, offering a smooth and comfortable interior. It's also suitable for cosplay projects.
While versatile, its lightweight nature and 85gsm weight make it best suited for linings or very lightweight garments. It may not provide enough structure or durability for standalone outer wear unless specifically intended.
It is highly recommended to pre-wash the fabric before cutting to prevent shrinkage issues in the finished garment. Follow the care instructions: wash at 30 degrees Celsius.
This means you can order the fabric in increments of one meter. If you order '2', you will receive a single piece of fabric measuring 2 meters long and 140cm wide.
While possible, its lightweight nature and viscose composition might not be ideal for traditional quilting where sturdier cottons are typically preferred for durability and ease of handling through multiple layers.
This specific product is the Light Khaki variant. Other colors in the Viscose Plain Lining Fabric range include Red, Cobalt Blue, and Light Grey.
Ensure you are washing at the recommended 30 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle. Always pre-wash fabric before cutting to account for potential shrinkage.
Use a fine needle (e.g., size 70/10 or 80/12) and a shorter stitch length. Ensure your machine tension is correctly balanced. Consider using a walking foot if available.
Iron on a low heat setting and always use a pressing cloth. Iron while the fabric is slightly damp, or use the steam function on your iron carefully.
This fabric is sold by the metre and requires no special setup beyond standard cutting and sewing practices. It is compatible with most sewing machines and common thread types.
