Lace & Bridal Collections
Chantilly vs. Alençon: What is the difference? Chantilly is a soft, flat lace with fine floral details. Alençon is "corded," meaning it has a raised thread outlining the pattern for a 3D look.
How do I wash Beaded Lace? Always Hand Wash in cold water or dry clean. Machine agitation will destroy the delicate threads holding the sequins and beads.
What is 3D Floral Lace? It features raised fabric petals that stand off the mesh. Perfect for avant-garde bridal gowns and couture textured pieces.
What is the best mesh for veils? Nylon Tulle is the professional choice. It has a significantly softer "drop" and drape than stiff craft-store polyester.
Stretch & Performance Tech
What is 4-Way Stretch? It means the fabric stretches both horizontally and vertically. This is mandatory for swimwear, dance, and high-intensity activewear.
What GSM is best for Swimwear? Aim for 190 to 230 GSM. This ensures the fabric isn't "see-through" when wet and provides enough compression for a secure fit.
Can Foil Spandex go in the pool? We recommend Performance Spandex for chlorine. Foil finishes are stunning for stage and dance but can dull if exposed to heavy chemicals.
What is Power Mesh used for? Power Mesh is used for structural illusion panels, body-contouring inserts, and high-compression athletic support.
How do I keep Spandex from sagging? Never use a dryer. High heat snaps the elastic fibers. Air drying is the only way to preserve the fabric's memory and recovery.
Cosplay & Specialty Fabric
Which Faux Fur is best for Fursuits? Our High-Pile Shag Furs are the industry favorite for Cosplay due to their density and realistic movement under light.
What is the difference between Vinyl and PU? Vinyl (PVC) is rugged and water-proof (great for armor). PU Leather is soft and breathable (best for clothing/bodysuits).
How do I sew thick Sequin fabric? Use a 90/14 needle and slow your speed. It is best to clear sequins from your seam allowance before you start sewing.
Why use Minky for plushies? Minky is 100% polyester but engineered to be ultra-soft and hypoallergenic, making it the safest and coziest choice for plush toys.
Prints, Decor & Wholesale
What is a Polynesian Tapa print? It is a traditional geometric motif historically found on bark cloth, now replicated on our fabrics for modern cultural apparel.
Do you offer fabric swatches? Yes. We recommend Swatch Kits for any large project to ensure the color match and "hand-feel" meet your design vision.
What is your Wholesale minimum? Wholesale pricing starts at 15 yards per bolt. We support independent designers with tiered bulk discounts.
How should I store rolls of Velvet? Never fold velvet. Always store it on the original roll to prevent permanent "crush lines" in the pile of the fabric.
