Frequently Asked Questions
What is broadcloth fabric?
Broadcloth is a tightly woven, plain-weave fabric with a smooth finish. The poly-cotton blend adds wrinkle resistance and durability while keeping the natural breathability of cotton.
Does poly cotton shrink?
Minimal — the polyester content stabilizes the fabric. Expect less than 2% on first wash.
Can I use this for quilting?
Yes. The 58-60" width works for quilt backing and large blocks. For pure cotton, see our cotton fabric collection.
Is broadcloth see-through?
Not in most colors. Darker colors have full opacity. Very light colors may benefit from a lining in fitted garments.
