FAQs

Is this fabric machine washable?

Yes, Tencel is generally machine washable. We recommend a cool cycle and air drying to maintain the integrity of the fibers.

Does this fabric stretch?

No, this Tencel Twill is a non-stretch woven fabric, which makes it perfect for structured garments.

Will you be restocking the Buttercup color?

No, as this is a deadstock fabric sourced from high-end mills, we cannot restock it once our current inventory is sold.

What is the weight of the fabric?

This fabric has a medium weight of approximately 190gsm.

Is it suitable for a beginner sewist?

While the fabric is stable and easy to handle, the twill weave can fray, so basic knowledge of seam finishing is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Fabric fraying during construction

Serge or finish all raw edges with a zig-zag stitch immediately after cutting your pattern pieces.

Stitches puckering on seams

Check your tension settings and ensure you are using a sharp, fine-gauge needle suitable for medium-weight fabrics.

Difficulty pressing sharp creases

Use a light spray of starch or a pressing cloth to help set the fibers without damaging the twill texture.

Cons

Limited availability due to deadstock nature
Tencel requires careful handling to prevent fraying
Solid colors may show pressing marks if not ironed correctly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, always pre-wash the fabric according to the final garment care instructions to account for any initial shrinkage. Use a fresh universal or microtex needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) to ensure clean stitching through the twill weave. For best results, use a high-quality polyester thread. When pressing, use a medium heat setting with a pressing cloth to avoid scorching or creating permanent shine marks on the fabric surface. We recommend overlocking or zig-zag stitching all raw edges immediately after cutting to prevent fraying, as twill weaves can be prone to unraveling.
