Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose quality fabric for beginners?

Start with 100% quilting cotton - it's easy to work with, doesn't stretch, and comes in endless prints. Look for fabric with a tight, even weave and avoid fabric that's too thin or slippery. Staff at fabric stores can help you feel the difference and recommend good beginner fabrics.

How do I pick between cotton and polyester?

Cotton is breathable, natural, and great for quilting and apparel. Polyester is wrinkle-resistant, durable, and holds color well. For beginners, 100% cotton is easier to sew. Many fabric stores carry both and can explain the benefits of each for your specific project.

What is interfacing and do I need it?

Interfacing is a stabilizing material applied to fabric to add structure and support. You need it for collars, cuffs, waistbands, and bag straps. Fabric stores stock different types (fusible, sew-in, lightweight, heavyweight) and can recommend the right one for your project.

Can I work with stretch/jersey fabric as a beginner?

Stretch fabrics are more challenging for beginners because they require special needles (ballpoint or stretch), different stitch settings, and careful handling to prevent stretching. Most fabric stores recommend starting with woven fabrics like cotton before moving to knits.

How do I match thread colors?

Bring a swatch of your fabric to the store and compare thread spools in natural light. When in doubt, go slightly darker rather than lighter. For prints, match the dominant color or background. Many fabric stores have thread displays where you can test matches.
