This polyester fabric keeps its colour and its shape even when it goes into the machine regularly. Weight per square metre comes to 250 g/m², width to 140 cm. It is woven from 3 % elastane, 5 % polyamide, 17 % polyester and 75 % viscose.
In Black/White the fabric reads clear and severe. For clothing meant to look matter-of-fact it is the first choice. Checks are a classic pattern that can read sporty or elegant — the cut decides. The fabric slips while cutting. With clips instead of pins and a rotary cutter the layer stays where it belongs.

Frequently asked questions
Which needle do I take?
A fine universal or microtex needle. The thinner the fabric, the finer the needle: too strong a needle leaves visible holes that never close again.
Scissors or rotary cutter?
On slippery goods the rotary cutter, because it does not lift the fabric. Scissors drag the layer along and the edge is no longer true.
Why does the seam pucker?
Because needle and stitch length do not suit the fabric. A fine needle, a shorter stitch and less presser foot pressure solve most of it. On very thin goods tissue paper under the seam helps, torn away afterwards.
What ironing temperature?
Moderate, and from the reverse. Viscose and polyester do not take the heat used for cotton; too hot and the surface turns shiny or melts.
