Description
Its double-weave build makes muslin breathable and still opaque enough for clothing. The web measures 130 cm across; its weight comes to 135 g/m². Its composition reads 100 % cotton. Residual shrinkage comes to 10 %. Allow accordingly more yardage and wash before cutting.
Red sits deep in the saturated range and works hardest beside white. Stars belong to the motifs children and adults like alike — and they suit almost any cuffing. Pressing before cutting pays off: a smooth fabric lies exactly, a creased one does not.
What Muslin Stars in Red is suitable for
- blouses and shirts
- skirts and dresses
- bags and pouches

Frequently asked questions
The fabric does not stretch — is that a problem?
No, but the pattern has to allow for it. With wovens, freedom of movement comes from width, pleats and darts rather than stretch. A jersey pattern cannot simply be sewn in a woven.
What is bias binding?
A strip cut at forty-five degrees to the grain. In that direction even a woven stretches, which is exactly why it binds a curve cleanly.
Does the colour bleed in the wash?
Strongly dyed cotton can give off a little colour in its first wash. That is why you pre-wash, and separately. After that the fabric is normally colour-stable.
Which needle do I need?
A universal needle in a medium size covers most cottons. On dense or coated qualities go one size up, on fine batiste one size down.
