Frequently Asked Questions

What can I sew with the Colette French terry?

Sweatshirts, joggers, and casual dresses — plus relaxed tops and loungewear with structure.

How much fabric do I need?

Most blouses take 1.5–2 yards (3–4 half-yard units) and most dresses 2.5–3.5 yards (5–7 units). At 58" wide, this fabric is wider than many quilting cottons, so you may need less than your pattern envelope suggests.

Will it shrink?

Cotton knits typically shrink 3–5% on the first wash. Prewash before cutting.

Is it see-through?

No — it is opaque in normal wear, so no lining is needed.

What needle and thread should I use?

A stretch or ballpoint needle with polyester thread; a twin needle gives professional hems.

Is it really limited edition?

Yes — this is a small-batch limited run and will not be reprinted once sold out. We stock it here in the US, so there is no import shipping or customs from Europe.
