Description
Fleece weighs little and warms a lot — which is why it sits in jackets, blankets and children's winter clothes. The web measures 145 cm across; its weight comes to 280 g/m². Its composition reads 100 % polyester.
Brown sits between orange and black and takes something from both: warmth and depth. Animals as a motif work on small pieces as on large, as long as the print is not scaled too big. Pins leave holes in coated goods that stay. Clips on the seam allowance solve it.
What Fleece Animal Motifs in Brown is suitable for
- between-season and rain jackets
- gilets and overalls
- dog coats
Frequently asked questions
Can I pin it?
Only in the seam allowance. Coated goods keep every hole, and a seam cannot be unpicked without traces. Clips are the better choice, since they pierce nothing.
The fabric sticks to the presser foot — what helps?
A Teflon foot or a walking foot. Alternatively a strip of tissue paper between foot and fabric, torn away after the seam. A sheet of baking paper under the fabric also helps when no special foot is at hand.
How do I reinforce the seam?
On bags with a flat-felled seam or a second row of topstitching. That not only holds better, it also makes the seam flatter — and flatness is half the battle on thick fabrics.
What do I do with offcuts?
Wet bags, bag bases, rain covers and sit mats. Coated offcuts are too valuable to discard, because they do exactly what ordinary cotton cannot. A piece the size of a postcard already covers a bag base.
