What is Sewing Fabric?
Sewing is one of the oldest textile arts; it is believed that in the Stone age, across Europe and Asia, people sewed the fur and skin of animals using needles made from bone, ivory and antler with thread made from various animal parts - including veins. Modern day sewing is much more civilized, using threads of various colors and metal needles to stitch together two (or more) pieces of fabric. For thousands of years sewing was all done by hand, but the 19th century saw the invention of the sewing machine, and now all sorts of people stitch by hand or machine from textile artists, tailors and dressmakers to hobbyists all around the globe. You can sew with any number of fabrics, but cottons and polycottons remain the most popular, with characteristics and weights that lend themselves to the fine art.
Cotton Sewing Fabric Printing and Finishing
All sewing fabric is printed digitally, using either a pigment printing or dye sublimation method. It can be sent as it comes from the printer, or cut on the line with the white borders removed. Depending on the type of sewing project you are undertaking, you may want to have your sewing fabric hemmed; one of our expert seamstresses will either hem your sewing fabric with an overlock hem, or with a folded hem using a straight stitch. You can have your cotton sewing fabric hemmed with either black or white cotton - no veins, we promise.
Please note that due to the nature of Cotton Linen, Pima Lawn, and Janice Poplin Cotton, during our reactive printing process there is a possibility that occasional very small white dots, where pieces of cotton fluff are removed, revealing unprinted white base material. Please note that this is normal and cannot be avoided but won't affect the strong colors and detailed nature of your print.
