Description
Softshell is not ironed and needs no edge finishing — it does not fray. At 143 cm wide its weight per square metre is 315 g/m². It is woven from 5 % elastane and 95 % polyester.
Blue reads deep or fresh depending on the fabric. On smooth wovens differently than on soft jersey. Flowers are the motif that stays in fashion longest; this print brings them at a scale that works on small pieces too. Pins leave holes in coated goods that stay. Clips on the seam allowance solve it.
What Softshell Doubleface mit Blüten und Blättern auf Blau is suitable for
- bags and rucksacks
- children's outdoor clothing
- dog coats

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
