Description
Softshell is not ironed and needs no edge finishing — it does not fray. At 143 cm wide its weight per square metre is 315 g/m². It is woven from 5 % elastane and 95 % polyester.
Blue reads deep or fresh depending on the fabric. On smooth wovens differently than on soft jersey. Flowers are the motif that stays in fashion longest; this print brings them at a scale that works on small pieces too. Pins leave holes in coated goods that stay. Clips on the seam allowance solve it.
What Softshell Flowers in Blue is suitable for
- bags and rucksacks
- children's outdoor clothing
- dog coats

Frequently asked questions
How do I reinforce the seam?
On bags with a flat-felled seam or a second row of topstitching. That not only holds better, it also makes the seam flatter — and flatness is half the battle on thick fabrics.
What do I do with offcuts?
Wet bags, bag bases, rain covers and sit mats. Coated offcuts are too valuable to discard, because they do exactly what ordinary cotton cannot. A piece the size of a postcard already covers a bag base.
Can I pin it?
Only in the seam allowance. Coated goods keep every hole, and a seam cannot be unpicked without traces. Clips are the better choice, since they pierce nothing.
The fabric sticks to the presser foot — what helps?
A Teflon foot or a walking foot. Alternatively a strip of tissue paper between foot and fabric, torn away after the seam. A sheet of baking paper under the fabric also helps when no special foot is at hand.
