FAQs

What is the weight of this fabric?

The fabric weighs 120gsm, which is considered a light to medium weight.

Can this fabric be used for quilting?

While primarily designed for dressmaking, its 100% cotton composition and weight could potentially be used for quilting projects, though the stripe pattern might influence the final design.

How should I pre-wash this fabric?

Pre-wash the fabric separately in cold water on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius before cutting to account for any potential shrinkage.

Is the 'Majestic Purple' colour consistent across the width?

The fabric features a two-tone striped design, meaning the colour will vary along the length of the fabric in a striped pattern, not uniformly across the width.

What types of garments are best suited for this fabric?

This fabric is ideal for dresses, blouses, skirts, and other apparel where a light to medium weight with good drape is desired.

Can I machine dry this fabric?

It is best to line dry the fabric to maintain its quality. If machine drying is necessary, use the lowest heat setting and remove while slightly damp.

What does 'supplied cut per metre' mean?

This means you can order the fabric in increments of one metre. For example, ordering '3' will give you a single piece of fabric measuring 3 metres in length and 140cm in width.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are washing at 30 degrees Celsius and using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners which can build up on cotton fibers. Gentle tumble dry on low or line dry and iron on a medium setting.

Color bleeding during initial wash

This can sometimes occur with dyed fabrics. Consider pre-washing the fabric separately in cold water before incorporating it into your project. Use a color catcher sheet in the wash.

Shrinkage after washing

While pre-shrunk, some minimal shrinkage can occur. Always pre-wash your fabric before cutting to account for potential shrinkage. Ensure you are following the 30-degree wash instruction.
