Mind The MAKER Viscose Plain Lining Fabric - Light Grey

This fabric is best suited for dressmaking, particularly as a lining for dresses, blouses, and skirts due to its lightweight feel and excellent drape. It can also be used for lightweight scarves or decorative linings.

The fabric will be cut as one continuous piece no matter how many metres you order, ensuring a seamless length for your projects.

While ideal for lining, its lightweight nature and drape also make it suitable for very delicate garments like sheer blouses or summer dresses, provided appropriate undergarments or linings are used.

A fine, sharp needle such as a universal 60/8 or 70/10, or a microtex needle, is recommended to prevent snagging or pulling the delicate viscose fibers.

Store the fabric in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Fold it loosely or keep it rolled to prevent deep creases.

Yes, the fabric is relatively easy to handle due to its lightweight nature, but beginners should exercise care when cutting and sewing to avoid stretching or tearing due to its delicate fibers.

Use pinking shears or a serger to finish raw edges immediately after cutting to prevent excessive fraying.

Ensure you are using a fine needle and appropriate thread. Check your machine's tension settings, and consider using a walking foot if available.

Ensure you are washing at the recommended 30 degrees. Try a gentle cycle with a small amount of fabric softener. Hang dry instead of tumble drying.

Always iron on the reverse side at a low to medium setting. Use a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric for added protection.
