0.8mm Matte Vinyl (Arlo):
100% polyester. This vinyl is thinner than our Thea vinyl. It's suitable for domestic sewing machines up to a maximum of eight layers. Any thicker than that, and you will likely struggle on a domestic sewing machine. This vinyl has a matte, textured finish and it's not sticky or grippy when sewing. I find it easy to sew using a standard presser foot, but you may prefer to use a Teflon foot.
SEWING: I like to use a Microtex size 90 needle as the sharper tip works well with this fabric. However, this will differ depending on the sewing machine, the thickness and type of thread, and the other fabrics you're sewing with.
CLEANING: We do not recommend washing this fabric in a machine as standard detergents may affect it. Do not tumble dry. If you spill something on the fabric, it will run right off. Simply rinse with water to remove any excess, then hang it to drip dry. If you need to clean the fabric further, spot clean with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Test on an offcut or out of sight area first.
UV: This fabric is not tested for UV resistance, so we don't recommend it for items that will be permanently outdoors (such as garden cushions), as the colours may fade.
IRONING: If ironing this fabric, or fusing interfacing or stabilisers to it, be sure to do it from the back of the fabric. Always test on an offcut before you begin, to ensure your heat and steam settings are correct and won't damage the fabric. Do not place heat directly on the face of the fabric.
Approximate width: 137cm (54"). Made in: China. Material: 100% Polyester. Thickness: 0.8mm.
