Description
Light mint is a whisper of green: bright, cool and fresh like the first warm day in March. As a sweat dress or light jumper the shade feels airy, delicate and friendly on baby clothes. This French terry is certified according to Oeko-Tex, a good argument around clothing sewn for the smallest. Beside natural white and light grey it builds classic pastel combinations, forming a soft colour family next to dusky pink. Since pale shades show stitching clearly, a calm, even seam pays off.
What Swafing Maike French Terry Hellmint 260 is suitable for
- Hoodies
- Sweat dresses
- Sweat jackets
Sewing tips
- Vorwaschen (French Terry läuft stärker ein als Jersey)
- Stretch-/Jerseynadel 80, bei mehreren Lagen 90
- Overlock oder elastischer Stich, Kanten versäubern weil die Schlingen fransen
- Abschlüsse mit Heike-Bündchen im gleichen Farbcode statt Umschlag
- bei mehreren Lagen Nähfußdruck runter oder Obertransportfuß
- Plots auf die glatte Außenseite, vorher am Reststück testen
- links bügeln bei niedriger Temperatur, nicht auf die Schlingenseite

Frequently asked questions
Can I apply vinyl prints or iron-on motifs?
Yes, prints belong on the smooth outside. Test on a scrap first, because the temperature must stay low. Across several layers at hoods or pockets, lower presser foot pressure or a walking foot keeps everything from shifting.
Is this fabric tested regarding harmful substances?
Yes, this French terry is certified according to Oeko-Tex, meaning it has been tested regarding harmful substances. Especially in children's clothing, or anything worn against skin, that certification feels reassuring while sewing as well as gifting.
How economical is the 150 cm fabric width?
At 150 cm this fabric runs wider than many cottons. Larger pattern pieces such as backs, fronts or hoods fit side by side, lowering consumption per garment, so even adult sizes can be cut economically.
How heavy is this fabric at 245 gsm?
At 245 gsm this French terry sits in the middle: opaque enough for dresses or trousers, yet distinctly lighter than a winter sweat. It drapes softly while holding shape, suiting almost every sweat pattern.
