Woven piqué shows a fine waffle structure and so has more grip than a smooth woven. At 230 g/m² and 152 cm wide the fabric suits the usual paper patterns. It is made from 100 % cotton.
With Dusty Pink you get a warm tone that stays fresh through many washes. A universal needle and a straight stitch are all it takes — woven cotton needs no more. Before cutting, a look at the care symbols on the article pays off. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.
What Swafing Nelson, Waffelpiqué Altrosa is suitable for
- patchwork and quilting
- bags and pouches
- accessories and decor
Frequently asked questions
How much fabric do I need?
That depends on the pattern, the fabric width and the print. Large motifs demand waste, since pieces have to be placed to match. On repeat prints allow half a metre more.
Does it suit patchwork?
Yes, woven cotton is the standard material for it. It cuts precisely, does not distort while sewing and presses flat — three qualities that matter in patchwork.
Does it suit children's clothes?
For shirts, skirts, dresses and trousers yes. For t-shirts and anything close-fitting a knit is the better choice, because it moves — a woven does not.
Do I have to pre-wash?
Yes. Cotton shrinks, by varying amounts depending on the finish. Wash the fabric the way you will wash the finished piece, press it, and only then cut.
