Description
Softshell is not ironed and needs no edge finishing — it does not fray. At 300 g/m² and 145 cm wide the fabric suits the usual paper patterns. It is made from 100 % polyester.
With Multicolour you get a piece that needs no further design: the pattern does the work. Hearts are the motif for anything given as a gift — and for children's clothes meant to look cheerful. To sew waterproof you have to seal the seams too; the needle makes holes the fabric cannot close.
What Softshell Bunte Herzen is suitable for
- between-season and rain jackets
- seat pads and covers
- gilets and overalls

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
