Description
Corduroy's ribs run in one direction; when cutting, all pieces therefore face the same way. The fabric comes 140 cm wide and brings 380 g/m² to the scale. Its composition reads 100 % polyester.
Petrol carries pattern well without covering it — which makes the tone the favourite ground for prints. Pressing before cutting pays off: a smooth fabric lies exactly, a creased one does not. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut. If unsure, order a little more — a later order may come from a different batch.
What Samt-Breitcord Wanja by Swafing Petrol is suitable for
- cushions and table linen
- children's clothing
- curtains and drapes

Frequently asked questions
The fabric does not stretch — is that a problem?
No, but the pattern has to allow for it. With wovens, freedom of movement comes from width, pleats and darts rather than stretch. A jersey pattern cannot simply be sewn in a woven.
What is bias binding?
A strip cut at forty-five degrees to the grain. In that direction even a woven stretches, which is exactly why it binds a curve cleanly.
Does the colour bleed in the wash?
Strongly dyed cotton can give off a little colour in its first wash. That is why you pre-wash, and separately. After that the fabric is normally colour-stable.
Which needle do I need?
A universal needle in a medium size covers most cottons. On dense or coated qualities go one size up, on fine batiste one size down.
