Description
Its double-weave build makes muslin breathable and still opaque enough for clothing. At 115 g/m² and 130 cm wide the fabric suits the usual paper patterns. It is made from 100 % cotton. Mind the residual shrinkage of 10 %: wash the fabric once before cutting, the way you will wash the finished piece.
With Apple Green you choose a colour that reads fresh in spring and muted in autumn. The floral print runs across the whole surface, so no pattern piece comes out empty. For blouses, shirts, skirts and dresses woven cotton is the classic choice — it holds the shape the pattern sets.
What Musselin mit Blüten Apfelgrün is suitable for
- patchwork and quilting
- bags and pouches
- accessories and decor

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
