Description
Viscose is a cellulose fibre: of plant origin, with the drape and sheen otherwise known from silk. 100 g/m² at 140 cm wide: calculate your yardage from the width, not from the pattern alone. Material: 5 % Lurex and 95 % viscose.
A fabric in Dark Purple suits projects that should not look interchangeable. Flowers are the motif that stays in fashion longest; this print brings them at a scale that works on small pieces too. Press at moderate heat — viscose and polyester do not take cotton temperatures.
What Viscose Woven Flowers in Dark Purple is suitable for
- blouses and tunics

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
