Frequently asked questions
What can I sew with this broadcloth?
Fabric Depot recommends it for blouses, dresses, shirts and suits. It is lightweight.
Does it stretch?
Yes: moderate horizontal stretch. Use a stretch or ballpoint needle and a stretch stitch or serger so seams move with the fabric.
Is it see-through? Do I need a lining?
It is semi-sheer. Plan a lining or underlayer for dresses and skirts, or use it as an overlay.
How do I care for it? Should I pre-wash?
Care: Machine Washable. Pre-wash it the way you plan to launder the finished piece; natural fibers can shrink in the first wash.
Is broadcloth good for shirts?
Yes. Broadcloth is a smooth, tightly woven plain weave for shirts, dresses and linings.
How is it sold and where does it ship from?
It is sold by the yard and ships directly from our partner Fabric Depot.
