Description
Batiste is a very fine, slightly sheer cotton woven — the fabric for blouses and summer dresses. At 70 g/m² and 140 cm wide the fabric suits the usual paper patterns. It is made from 100 % cotton.
With White you get a base colour that suits strong tones as readily as muted ones. The embroidery sits firmly in the fabric and does not wash away — unlike a print it stays tangible. A universal needle and a straight stitch are all it takes — woven cotton needs no more. Before cutting, a look at the care symbols on the article pays off.
What Batiste Embroidery in White is suitable for
- blouses and shirts
- skirts and dresses
- curtains and drapes

Frequently asked questions
How much fabric do I need?
That depends on the pattern, the fabric width and the print. Large motifs demand waste, since pieces have to be placed to match. On repeat prints allow half a metre more.
Does it suit patchwork?
Yes, woven cotton is the standard material for it. It cuts precisely, does not distort while sewing and presses flat — three qualities that matter in patchwork.
Does it suit children's clothes?
For shirts, skirts, dresses and trousers yes. For t-shirts and anything close-fitting a knit is the better choice, because it moves — a woven does not.
Do I have to pre-wash?
Yes. Cotton shrinks, by varying amounts depending on the finish. Wash the fabric the way you will wash the finished piece, press it, and only then cut.
