Description
This polyester fabric keeps its colour and its shape even when it goes into the machine regularly. The web measures 140 cm across; its weight comes to 250 g/m². Its composition reads 3 % elastane, 5 % polyamide, 17 % polyester and 75 % viscose.
Black/White sits at the dark end and cannot be mistaken for any other tone. A check asks for care while cutting: the lines should meet at the seams. If you sew fluid goods for the first time, lay tissue paper under the seam; it stops puckering.
What Polyester Woven Check in Black/White is suitable for
- blouses and tunics
- sheers and light curtains
- kimonos

Frequently asked questions
How do I recognise good drape?
By its behaviour over your hand: a fabric with drape falls into soft folds instead of standing. The softer the drape, the wider the cut may be without looking shapeless.
May it go in the dryer?
Better not. Viscose shrinks noticeably there, and polyester does not need it since it dries fast anyway. Hung up and pressed slightly damp, both look better.
What do I do with offcuts?
Facings, pocket bags, bindings and hair ties. Fluid goods work well even in narrow strips, as long as the edge is enclosed. For neckerchiefs and hair ties an offcut that would otherwise be scrap is plenty.
How do I finish thin wovens?
Most cleanly with a French seam: the raw edges are enclosed in the seam and nothing shows outside. Alternatively with an overlocker, if the fabric is not too fine.
