How would this fabric work with stamping? Is the weave tight?

We use it as a buffing material for leather work, I would only guess it is not tight enough to stamp - but have never even tried it. Sorry we cannot give you a definite answer on stamping.

Yes! I was running errands in the rain all day today and the fabric held up beautifully. It's tightly woven, thus making it naturally water-resistent

I think it depends on the fabric. I tested a very tight knitted fabric on a chair, and it beaded up. When I tried the same test on a different chair that has a loose knitted fabric cover, it ran through to the padding underneath, and soaked into it.

I used the Mod Podge as a top coat and to adhere other papers to watercolor paper. It is extremely shiny and it is possible to build up quite a thick layer of it. Mod Podge remains flexible enough to bend on paper without cracking when applied in one or two layers. It does stiffen the paper somewhat.Since I didn't use it on fabric, I'm not sure how much it would stiffen it, but I think it would stiffen it quite a lot. I'd use an acrylic made for fabric if you want your fabric to feel soft to the touch. Don't know if this is what you had in mind. Hope it helps.

I don't think this works well with thick fabrics. I tried using it with some thick fabrics and they simply didn't fit through the channel. Since it's metal, there's no give. However, if you're doing potholders, it might be squishy enough to compress and make it through. I've found it to be a really useful foot to have around for other uses though. It works great on everything except thick stuff. Also good to note that it doesn't accept double wide bias tape.

Yes. It does feel a little bit thicker, but it is SOOOO worth it. I can't say enough great things about this product! No more tracing, no more light boxes, no more fuss! It is so easy to print and place on the fabric. I'd rather have the tiniest bit of extra thickness to have the clean, straight, neat lines to embroider. I use linen, which is wobbly when trying to trace on it; also, since it's nubby, my lines were never exact. Hope this helps. :)

Sorry can't help you with the fabric, gift for my daughter's office. I will say it's a good deal for the money but the back is not very rigid. good luck

Because of the "newness" of the fabric, it will be difficult to work with. Unfortunately, it requires a lot of patience and some degree of ingenuity. If you have further questions, please email me at ghme.llc@gmail.com

You still have to test sew any new fabric. It will also take adjusting the tensions. In short, it will, but you also need to learn the machine, what it does and how to adjust it. Nothing is automatic on sergers.

On the felt that I used yes! I tried it on some netting and it does well. To cut fabric, the only thing I can see that would hinder it is if you do not have the fabric down in a manner not to allow the blade to move well. I have made a quilt using the Disappearing Nine Patch. I know after I sew the nine patch back together for second or third or fourth cuts, The problem is the build up the layers of fabric and thread at the seams. That is why, I say with confidence, as long as you have your fabric down correctly on a good cutting board there should be no problem. I have had no problems. On the felt that I used yes!

Yes, stamping will work. I stenciled it to make wrapping paper, and it came out great!

Yes it will just make sure to read the instructions on working with thick fabrics and using the correct needles and thread. I just finished a quilt that was 1/2"thick each side and as long as you don't force the feed to quickly, it worked beautifully. I did the quilting with the dogs disengaged and the quilting foot and only broke 1 needle at a very thick seam because I pulled the fabric too hard to the right. Good luck with your projects. I hope this helps.

Very much like quilt polyester batting..You can pull out it out by handfuls..so far it is retaining its shape.It's about 8 inches thick haven't had it long enough to see if it compresses over time. If it's too thick, you can pull some out.

I have had very good success, especially in machine applique in quilting. Not sure about apparel unless you are applique work. Don't use it for seams. It's for decorative purposes.

You shouldn't have to put much pressure at all. Are you using the special polish for stamping? Also I purchased this stamper and am very unhappy with it. I have a different one that works great. This one is poor quality and I couldn't get the image to transfer properly. Hope this helps

The fabric is slightly off-white. The texture is slightly rough feeling and is slightly stiff. it is thick enough the under fabric does not show through. Great to make personal labels for quilters.

It is tightly woven, nothing goes thru it. It is holding up really good , the first winter season in Ohio. One of my better buys from amazon.
