Frequently Asked Questions

Is polyester fabric breathable?

Standard polyester is less breathable than cotton. For breathable options, consider our poly cotton broadcloth which blends polyester with cotton for added comfort.

Can I use polyester fabric outdoors?

Yes. Polyester resists UV fading, moisture, and mildew better than most natural fibers, making it suitable for outdoor cushion covers, banners, and light outdoor use.

What needle should I use for polyester?

Use a universal needle (size 80/12) for poplin and broadcloth. For satin, use a sharp/microtex needle (70/10) to prevent snags.

Does polyester fabric shrink?

Polyester has minimal to no shrinkage. This makes it ideal for projects where consistent sizing matters, like tablecloths and curtains.
