Description
Corduroy's ribs run in one direction; when cutting, all pieces therefore face the same way. Weight per square metre comes to 320 g/m², width to 155 cm. It is woven from 73 % cotton, 5 % Elastan and 22 % polyester.
In Dark Grey the fabric reads matter-of-fact. For everyday clothing it is the colour demanding the fewest decisions. Pressing before cutting pays off: a smooth fabric lies exactly, a creased one does not. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.
What Corduroy in Dark Grey is suitable for
- patchwork and quilting
- cushions and table linen
- bags and pouches
Sewing tips
- Juna ist Maschenware: mit Jersey- oder Stretchnadel und elastischem Stich oder der Overlock nähen.
- Die Rippen haben eine Strichrichtung. Alle Teile gleich herum zuschneiden, sonst wirken sie unterschiedlich hell.
- Schnitte für Jersey oder Sweat verwenden, die Dehnung reicht für figurnahe Teile.
- Beim Nähen nicht ziehen, ein Obertransportfuß verhindert, dass sich die Lagen verschieben.
- Säume mit Zwillingsnadel oder Coverlock nähen, dann bleiben sie dehnbar.
- Bei 30 Grad waschen, nicht bleichen, nicht in den Trockner und nicht bügeln.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
