Water Resistant Cotton Canvas
Fabrics
250gsm Water Resistant Cotton Canvas (WRCC):
100% cotton with a protective water resistant coating. This 250gsm (7oz) canvas is suitable for domestic sewing machines. As it's cotton, it has a weave and is soft and flowy like standard canvas. Because it's made of cotton, it doesn't have a plastic feel like many waterproof canvases. The fabric is protected to create a water resistant finish that allows water to flow off the fabric rather than soaking into it. However, we can't guarantee it as 100% waterproof. At 250gsm, this fabric is thicker than standard quilting cotton, which is usually about 150gsm, but you may still wish to add interfacing to it, depending on the project you're working on.

SEWING: I like to use a universal or Microtex size 90 needle. 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 don't recommend washing this fabric in a machine as standard detergents will reduce it's waterproof coating. 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. If you do decide to wash the fabric, it will lose its waterproof coating with each wash and you'll eventually be left with standard cotton canvas.
UV: This fabric is not UV resistant, so we don't recommend it for items that will be permanently outdoors (such as garden cushions), as the colours may fade with lots of UV exposure.
IRONING: You can iron this fabric and fuse interfacing to it without any issues.
