Corduroy shows its typical lengthwise ribs and so reads velvety — warm to the touch and rugged in use. The web measures 140 cm across; its weight comes to 380 g/m². Its composition reads 100 % polyester.
Terracotta reads luminous on pale ground and warming on dark — both work. It also suits patchwork and quilting: it cuts precisely and does not distort. A sample answers more questions about handle and drape than any description. Before cutting, a look at the care symbols on the article pays off.

Frequently asked questions
What do I do with offcuts?
Keep them, especially patterned ones. In patchwork the small cut is the rule, and narrow strips still serve for pocket bags, appliqué or binding. Narrow strips make bias binding, wider offcuts become pocket bags.
Why does the fabric fray at the edge?
Because a woven is made of crossed threads that loosen at a cut edge. That is normal. Finish with zigzag, an overlocker or an enclosed seam — otherwise the edge unravels further with every wash.
What do I watch for when cutting?
The grain. Pattern pieces are aligned parallel to the selvedge, otherwise the finished piece distorts. On patterned goods the motif direction comes on top. The grain line appears on the pattern piece as an arrow; it runs parallel to the selvedge.
How do I press it?
At the usual cotton temperature and slightly damp. Before cutting it pays off especially: a smoothly pressed fabric cuts precisely, a creased one does not.
