Description
This faux leather does not fray and needs no finishing; needle holes, however, stay visible. The web measures 140 cm across; its weight comes to 400 g/m². Its composition reads 18 % polyester and 82 % Polyvenylchlorid.
Black sits at the dark end and cannot be mistaken for any other tone. Dyed plain, the fabric lets cut and construction work; a cuff or a companion fabric takes over the pattern elsewhere. For appliqué, decor and accessories these fabrics are the obvious choice — they carry their own theme. A sample answers more questions about handle and drape than any description.
What Kunstleder Rex Uni Schwarz by Swafing is suitable for
- soft toys and playthings
- cushions and blankets
- craft work with children

Frequently asked questions
The fabric sheds while cutting — what helps?
A sharp tool and patience. A rotary cutter produces less loose pile than scissors. Afterwards brush out the machine so nothing gathers in the hook area.
What is nap direction?
The direction the pile lies in. Run your hand over it and one way feels smooth, the other rough. All pattern pieces must lie the same way, otherwise they read differently in brightness.
How do I press these fabrics?
From the reverse, at moderate heat and with little pressure. On pile an iron flattens the fibres, and that spot stays visible. A pressing cloth between is always the safer option.
Does it suit appliqué?
Very well, especially when it does not fray. Cut the shape, lay it on and stitch around it with a close zigzag or by hand — no finishing needed.
