FAQs

What are the dimensions of a fat quarter?

A standard fat quarter measures approximately 18 inches by 22 inches (45 cm by 55 cm).

Can this fabric be used for apparel?

Yes, 100% cotton is suitable for apparel, especially for items like aprons, smocks, or children's clothing where the print is a key design element. However, for fitted garments, consider its moderate drape.

Is the fabric suitable for beginners?

Yes, 100% cotton is an excellent choice for beginners due to its ease of handling, cutting, and sewing.

Why is the fabric non-returnable?

The fabric is cut directly from a larger bolt according to your order, making it a custom, bespoke item. Therefore, it cannot be returned unless it is faulty.

How should I store the fabric before use?

Store the fabric in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its color and integrity. Fold it neatly or roll it to prevent excessive creasing.

Will the print wear off over time?

With proper care and washing (cold water, gentle cycle, low heat drying), the print is designed to be colorfast and durable for typical crafting and quilting use.

Troubleshooting

Fabric seems to shrink significantly after washing.

Ensure you pre-washed the fabric according to recommended care instructions (cold water, gentle cycle). Future washes should also use cold water and a low-heat or air-dry setting.

Colors appear to bleed or fade.

Always pre-wash new fabric separately in cold water with a color catcher. For subsequent washes, use cold water and wash with similar colors. Avoid harsh detergents.

Difficulty cutting straight lines.

Use a sharp rotary cutter and a self-healing mat for precise cuts. Ensure the fabric is laid flat and smooth before cutting. A quilting ruler can assist in achieving straight edges.

Compatibility: 100% cotton fabric is compatible with most standard sewing machines and sergers. It pairs well with cotton batting and thread for quilting. It can be used alongside other 100% cotton fabrics for cohesive projects.

Care Instructions:

  1. Pre-wash: It is recommended to pre-wash the fabric before use in cold water on a gentle cycle to pre-shrink it and set the colors. Use a mild detergent.
  2. Washing: Machine wash subsequent washes in cold water with like colors.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry for best results and to minimize shrinkage.
  4. Ironing: Iron on a medium-high heat setting, preferably while the fabric is still slightly damp, to remove wrinkles effectively. Use a pressing cloth if needed to protect the print.
