Description
This satin falls heavy and smooth — the fabric for occasion wear, linings and anything meant to read refined. The web measures 138 cm across; its weight comes to 120 g/m². Its composition reads 100 % viscose.
Purple/Black sits in the violet range and keeps its saturation under artificial light too. The fabric slips while cutting. With clips instead of pins and a rotary cutter the layer stays where it belongs. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut. If unsure, order a little more — a later order may come from a different batch.
What Satin in Purple/Black is suitable for
- blouses and tunics
- scarves and wraps
- linings for jackets

Frequently asked questions
Why does the seam pucker?
Because needle and stitch length do not suit the fabric. A fine needle, a shorter stitch and less presser foot pressure solve most of it. On very thin goods tissue paper under the seam helps, torn away afterwards.
What ironing temperature?
Moderate, and from the reverse. Viscose and polyester do not take the heat used for cotton; too hot and the surface turns shiny or melts.
Which needle do I take?
A fine universal or microtex needle. The thinner the fabric, the finer the needle: too strong a needle leaves visible holes that never close again.
Scissors or rotary cutter?
On slippery goods the rotary cutter, because it does not lift the fabric. Scissors drag the layer along and the edge is no longer true.
