If you take a look at the market, there is no shortage of fabrics that you can use for your patchwork. However, one of the most important questions that one has to ask is what kind of fabric should one use?
You might think that simply picking an option that has the right color might just suit your purposes. However, that is far from the truth.
So which fabric should you use? Well, there are a few options that you can work with. I recommend using natural fabrics that have a tight weave. Let us take a look at some of the natural fabrics in the market such as cotton, wool, linen, and silk. Not only do they have the right weave, but they are also the best fabrics to use for hand sewing. Their surfaces are strong and you can easily create decorative stitching on them. One of the best features of the aforementioned natural fabrics is that you can pass your needles through them smoothly. This is because they include fibers that are woven in a cross pattern, creating minute gaps for you to use.
Let us now explore each of the above fabrics and understand why they are ideal for sewing. Once we cover their properties, I will let you know which fabric works the best for denim.
