Description
This felt is stable and dense — meant for decor, appliqué and craft work. At 100 cm wide its weight per square metre is 620 g/m². It is woven from 100 % polyester.
Petrol reads deep or fresh depending on the fabric. On smooth wovens differently than on soft jersey. 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. Before cutting, a look at the care symbols on the article pays off.
What Dekofilz Petrol 3 mm Stark is suitable for
- decor and home accessories
- cushions and blankets
- craft work with children
Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
