Product Information
Full details
Klona Cotton Fabric in Burgundy is a premium, medium-weight broadcloth designed for sewing enthusiasts and crafters who need a reliable, professional-grade base for garments and accessories. Weighing 122gsm, it provides a smooth, durable finish that is wider than standard quilting cottons, offering superior value and less waste for larger projects; however, beginners should note that the tight weave requires sharp needles to avoid snagging or skipped stitches.

FAQs
Is this fabric suitable for quilting?
Yes, while it is slightly heavier than traditional quilting cotton, its smooth, tight weave makes it an excellent, durable choice for patchwork.
Does Klona cotton fade in the wash?
As with all dyed cottons, it is best to wash in cool water and avoid harsh chemicals to maintain the deep Burgundy color.
Can I use this for making trousers?
Yes, its medium weight makes it suitable for lightweight, casual trousers or summer-weight pants.
How should I prepare the fabric before sewing?
Always pre-wash and dry the fabric in the same way you plan to treat the finished garment to pre-shrink the fibers.
Is the fabric opaque?
Yes, the density of the 122gsm broadcloth makes it sufficiently opaque for most clothing applications.
Troubleshooting
Needle skipping stitches
Switch to a new, sharp universal needle or a microtex needle if the fabric tension seems too dense.
Fabric fraying excessively
Finish raw edges with a serger or a zigzag stitch immediately after cutting to prevent unravelling.
Visible wrinkles after drying
Iron the fabric while it is still slightly damp for the easiest removal of deep-set wrinkles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results with Klona Burgundy, always pre-wash the fabric to account for natural fiber shrinkage before cutting your pattern. Use a universal needle in size 70/10 or 80/12 to glide through the tight weave without causing friction or runs. For sewing machines, a standard straight stitch length of 2.5mm is ideal for most seams.
Care instructions are straightforward: machine wash on a cool or warm cycle with like colors. Avoid heavy bleach, which may affect the depth of the Burgundy pigment. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry to preserve the fibers, and use a medium-hot iron with steam to achieve a crisp, professional finish.
