FAQs

Is this fabric safe for baby products?

Yes, PUL is the industry standard for cloth nappies and baby accessories due to its durability and non-toxic properties.

Can I tumble dry this fabric?

While it withstands high temperatures, line drying is recommended to extend the life of the waterproof lamination.

Does the fabric have a plastic-like feel?

No, the jersey knit face provides a fabric-like touch, while the laminate is hidden on the reverse side.

What stitch type works best?

A slight zigzag stitch or a dedicated stretch stitch is recommended to accommodate the knit nature of the fabric.

Can I use this for outdoor gear?

While it is waterproof, it is primarily designed for indoor and personal hygiene products rather than heavy-duty outdoor weather protection.

Troubleshooting

Needle holes causing leaks

Use a finer ballpoint needle and ensure you are using a stitch length that is not too small to prevent perforation.

Fabric slipping while sewing

Use a walking foot or place tissue paper between the fabric and the feed dogs to stabilize the movement.

Waterproofing losing effectiveness

Check if fabric softener was used, which can coat the fibers; re-wash using only detergent to restore the barrier.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior flexibility compared to traditional laminated fabrics
  • Soft texture comfortable against the skin
  • Withstands high-temperature washing for sanitation
  • Excellent for sewing curved items due to the stretch properties
  • Highly durable against repeated daily use

Cons

  • Requires specialized needles to avoid damaging the waterproof layer
  • Can be slippery to sew with standard presser feet
  • Not as breathable as natural fibers due to the waterproof coating
  • Requires careful heat management when ironing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, use a ballpoint or jersey needle to prevent puncturing the laminate layer excessively during construction. If the fabric drags under the machine, use a walking foot or a Teflon presser foot to maintain even tension.

For maintenance, wash in warm or hot water with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can leave a residue that compromises the waterproof barrier. To maintain its longevity, hang-dry whenever possible, though the fabric is designed to withstand higher temperatures. If ironing is necessary, do so on the jersey side with a low heat setting, ensuring the iron does not come into direct contact with the PUL-coated side.
