Faux leather carries a closed surface, so no edge ever frays. Its face stays smooth, while its back remains textile.
This one measures 140 cm across, weighing 320 g/m²; its composition reads 15 % cotton plus 25 % poly plus 60 % polyurethan. Wash it once before cutting.
Berry pairs readily alongside plain shades; anyone wanting contrast sets it beside something stronger. Sold by metre, so you cut whatever your project takes — leftovers still serve bags, appliqué plus small pouches.
What Leder Imitat Beere is suitable for
- Bags plus pouches, because edges may stay raw.
- Appliqué or labels, since faux leather cuts cleanly.
- Accents over clothing, wherever something firmer belongs.
Frequently asked questions
What deserves attention while sewing?
Holding everything in place. These qualities shift more readily than smooth fabric; clips hold better than pins, while a walking foot helps wherever layers meet.
Does this fabric fray?
Fleece, felt, faux leather plus tulle do not — their cut edge stays exactly as cut. Woven special qualities do fray, so there every seam allowance wants finishing before washing starts.
Which needle does this want?
One matching its thickness. Dense qualities want a size up; fine nets want a fine needle, so no holes remain. A test seam over a scrap settles that within two minutes.
How should I care for it?
Cool washing plus air drying last longest. Heat attacks pile, coating plus elasticity alike; whatever gets flattened or distorted once will never come back, however carefully you treat it afterwards.
