FAQs

What is the primary use for this Jordan Solid Coating Fabric?

This fabric is designed for details like facings, pockets, and custom bindings, especially to coordinate with the Jordan Quilted range. It's also suitable for making dresses and blouses.

Can this fabric be used for the main body of a garment?

While it can be used for garments like dresses and blouses, its 'coating' nature suggests it might be more suited for structured details or outerwear elements rather than very drapey garments. It works best as a coordinating fabric for accents.

How do I wash this fabric?

It is recommended to machine wash the fabric at 30 degrees Celsius.

Does this fabric require special sewing needles?

A standard universal needle (size 80/12 or 90/14) is typically suitable for sewing polyester fabrics. Always test on a scrap piece first.

What does 'light and medium weight' mean for this fabric?

This indicates the fabric has a moderate weight, making it easy to handle, cut, and sew without being too flimsy or too heavy. It provides enough body for details like pockets and facings.

Is this fabric waterproof?

The product description does not specify waterproof properties. It is described as a 'coating' fabric, suggesting it may have some resistance to light moisture but is not intended for full waterproofing.

What other colors are available in the Jordan Solid range?

Other available colors in the Jordan Solid range include Khaki, Sienna, Navy, Cobalt Blue, Fuchsia, and Camel.

Troubleshooting

Fabric seems to fray excessively at the edges.

Ensure you are using a sharp cutting tool. Consider finishing the raw edges with a serger, zigzag stitch, or pinking shears for added durability.

Needle is skipping stitches or causing puckering.

Check that your sewing machine needle is new and appropriate for polyester fabrics. Adjust tension settings if necessary and test on a scrap piece.

Color transfer onto other fabrics during washing.

While unlikely with a solid black polyester, always wash separately or with similar colors for the first wash, especially if using a higher wash temperature than recommended.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Complements the Jordan Quilted fabric line for coordinated projects.
  • Suitable for adding professional details like pockets and facings.
  • Easy to cut and measure due to its light to medium weight.
  • Durable 100% polyester material is long-lasting.
  • Versatile plain black color fits many design aesthetics.

Cons

  • May be too substantial for extremely lightweight garment designs.
  • As a solid color, it may show wear more readily than patterned fabrics.
  • Requires specific care (30-degree wash) to maintain fabric integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

Before cutting, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric to account for any potential shrinkage, even though polyester is generally stable. Use a 30-degree wash cycle.

Cutting:

Due to its light to medium weight (100gsm) and 140cm width, this fabric is easy to handle. Use sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter for clean edges. Ensure your cutting mat is clean to avoid transferring any color.

Sewing:

Use a universal needle (size 80/12 or 90/14) and a medium stitch length. Test stitching on a fabric scrap first. While it coordinates with the Jordan Quilted range, it can also be paired with most cotton, linen, or other polyester blends for dressmaking and accessory projects.

Care:

Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid high heat drying to preserve the fabric's integrity and color. Iron on a low setting if necessary.
