FAQs
Is this fabric sheer?
Yes, like most georgettes, it has a semi-sheer quality. Depending on your garment, you may want to use a lining or a slip.
Can I restock this if I need more for a larger project?
No. Because this is a deadstock fabric, we have a limited amount available. Once it is sold out, we cannot source more.
Is this suitable for a beginner?
While it is easier to handle than chiffon, georgette is still a delicate fabric. It is recommended for those with some experience in garment construction.
Does this fabric stretch?
No, this is a non-stretch woven fabric, which is perfect for structured blouses and dresses.
What is the best way to press this fabric?
Use a cool to medium iron setting with a press cloth to avoid damaging the delicate surface texture.
Troubleshooting
Fabric slipping under the presser foot
Use a walking foot or reduce presser foot pressure to ensure even feeding.
Seams puckering during sewing
Use a straight stitch plate, a shorter stitch length, and ensure the thread tension is properly calibrated for lightweight fabrics.
Fabric snagging during the sewing process
Switch to a fresh, brand-new Microtex needle and ensure your sewing table surface is smooth and free of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For best results, use a sharp, fine-point sewing machine needle (such as a size 70/10 Universal or Microtex) to avoid snagging the fine grains of the fabric. It is recommended to use fine glass-head pins to prevent leaving permanent holes in the weave. When cutting, utilize a rotary cutter on a mat to maintain precise edges. Regarding care, hand-wash in cool water with a gentle detergent or machine wash on a delicate cycle inside a mesh laundry bag. Hang to air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the depth of the brown color.
