FAQs

Is this fabric suitable for beginners?

Yes, the stable woven handle and manageable weight make it very easy to cut and sew for those new to dressmaking.

What is the weight of the fabric?

The fabric has a light to medium weight of 140 GSM.

Can I use this for curtains?

While technically possible, it is intended for apparel dressmaking and may lack the thickness or opacity required for effective curtains.

How wide is the fabric?

The fabric measures approximately 139cm or 55 inches in width.

Does the color bleed during washing?

We recommend washing at 40 degrees. As with all vibrant fabrics, it is best to wash with like colors to prevent potential transfer.

Does it need a lining?

Due to its medium weight and solid color, it is generally opaque enough for most dresses and shirts, though personal preference for lining may vary.

Troubleshooting

Fabric slipping while sewing

Use walking foot or increase the pressure on your presser foot to maintain consistent tension.

Uneven edges after washing

Always surge or zig-zag stitch the raw edges of the fabric before putting it through a pre-wash cycle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Soft, stonewashed finish feels comfortable against the skin
  • Stable handling makes it very beginner-friendly
  • Generous 55-inch width allows for flexible pattern placement
  • Light-to-medium weight is highly versatile for multiple garment types

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy-duty upholstery or drapery
  • Limited to a solid, plain color aesthetic
  • Requires pre-washing to ensure size consistency

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric at 40 degrees Celsius before cutting to account for any initial shrinkage. Use universal sewing machine needles appropriate for medium-weight wovens, such as size 70/10 or 80/12. When storing, keep the fabric away from direct sunlight to prevent potential color fading over time. Always use a coordinating thread weight to ensure your seams are as durable as the fabric itself.
