Embroidery Fabrics FAQs
What is the best fabric for hand embroidery?
Fabrics like linen, cotton, and muslin are often recommended for hand embroidery due to their even weave and durability. They provide a stable base for a wide range of stitches, making your embroidery easier to manage and more precise.
Do I need to pre-wash embroidery fabric?
It's a good idea to pre-wash natural fabrics before starting your project. Pre-washing prevents shrinkage after you've completed your embroidery, especially if the finished piece will be washed or displayed.
Are your embroidery fabrics suitable for beginners?
Yes, many of the fabrics in our collection are beginner-friendly. We offer options with clearly defined weaves and smooth surfaces, which help new embroiderers learn stitches with ease and achieve satisfying results early on.
Can I use these fabrics for thread painting?
Absolutely. Our embroidery fabrics include tightly woven options that provide excellent support for thread painting techniques, allowing for dense stitching without puckering or distortion.
Are your fabrics made from natural fibres?
Most of the embroidery fabrics we offer are made from natural fibres such as cotton and linen. These materials are breathable, easy to stitch on, and align with sustainable crafting values that many of our customers care deeply about.
Do the fabrics come in different sizes?
Yes, our fabrics are typically available in various cuts or by the metre, allowing you to choose the right amount for your project, whether it's a small hoop design or a larger, framed piece.
How should I store unused embroidery fabric?
To preserve quality, store your fabric in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It’s best to keep it folded or rolled with acid-free paper, especially if you plan to use it later for heirloom or detailed pieces.
Will the fabric work with both hoop and frame embroidery?
Yes, our embroidery fabrics are versatile enough for use with both hoops and frames. They maintain tension well and resist distortion, supporting a comfortable and stable stitching experience.
How do I know which fabric is right for my project?
Consider your design and stitch density. Lightweight fabrics work well for delicate or fine stitching, while heavier fabrics are ideal for dense threadwork or larger pieces. Our team is also happy to assist if you need personalised advice.
Do you offer sustainable or organic options?
Yes, we stock embroidery fabrics made from organic cotton and sustainably sourced linen. These choices are perfect for crafters who value eco-friendly materials without compromising on performance or aesthetics.
