Heavyweight, “bouncy” cotton with plush and soft drape
Ideal Projects:
Garments that could benefit from a soft plushness and fluid texture such as bath robes, coats, quilted coats, simple loose fitting silhouettes, fringed shawls and wraps
Home goods like cushion covers, pillows, baby swaddling blanket and simple throws
Shrinkage Expectation:
Across one yard:
Approximately 1⁄2” on width
Approximately 1 to 1 1⁄2” on length
*Note that an approximate 1⁄4” of fray on each edge is in addition to shrinkage loss
Sewing:
A seam allowance of 5/8” is recommended
Needle size should be at least 11/75, however if sewing with multiple layers, you may choose to bump up to 14/90 or 16/100
A standard 50wt thread and a slightly longer stitch length (2.8 or 3) works well for seams
Finishing seam allowance edges with serger or zigzag stitch can prevent excessive fray. You may also consider exploring encasing your seams with a bound seam technique or a french seam
