Yes, its medium weight and stable weave make it very forgiving and easy to handle for those new to dressmaking.
The polyester-viscose blend is generally stable, but we recommend a 40°c pre-wash to account for any minor shrinkage before cutting your pattern.
Absolutely; the weight is ideal for tailored jackets, and it works perfectly with standard lightweight linings.
The fabric measures 145cm in width.
Use a medium setting. Always test on a small scrap piece first to ensure the heat does not affect the fibers.
Check that the needle is sharp and correctly seated; switch to a new universal size 80/12 needle.
Use a zigzag stitch or an overlocker to finish seam allowances immediately after cutting.
Use steam-pressing sparingly with a pressing cloth to smooth out creases without damaging the fibers.
To ensure the best results, pre-wash the fabric at 40°c to account for any initial settling. When setting up your machine, use a standard universal sewing needle (size 80/12 is typically ideal) and a medium stitch length.
