I want 12 yards of this fabric but I would like to get answers to the following questions. Thanks. 1) Is this fabric durable for sewing for curtains

I use the fabric for the interior of presentation cases and is very nice for this but I don't think it would be good for curtains.

The width of the fabric is 60" and the yards are to be determined by yourself. The amount you order will come as one big piece, not in separate pieces.

soft, nice furniture fabric LOL!! I don't "know" furniture fabric per say. It is durable.

It's a heavy fabric. You should be able to repair it. I doubt it will tear though.

This is much more durable than a vinyl tablecloth. We end up washing ours about once a week because of our two year old and it still looks good. He pulls it and moves it around and it hasn't torn yet. It has the feel of cloth so I would guess that unless you cut it with something sharp it should last a long time.

This fabric is 58" wide. One yard would be a piece 58" by 36". The yard is the length. If you wanted two yards the piece would be 58" by 72".

We always strive to provide customers with one continuous piece of fabric whenever possible. If you place an order for four yards of fabric, you will receive one continuous piece of fabric that totals four yards. Your order will not be cut into pieces. If we are unable to fulfill the yardage amount you requested in one piece, we will notify you via email and ask you how you would like to proceed.

Well, when I bought it before, it was a continuous piece. But, the way they have worded it on my new purchase I figure it will be in ine yard increments. That's ok for me because I'm finishing some ottomans. The fabric is gorgeous and very stain resistant.

I've only had my Queen cover & split box spring covers since Jan., but the fabric is tightly woven & the construction seems VERY durable to me. The sides & bottom are of the same fabric (for mattress cover) and when pulled have a bit of a stretch to them -and the sides are pulled /kept together by a zipper on all 3 sides. The construction is superb. It seems logical with the tightness of the zipper joining the fabric (so no bugs come thru the stitching around the cover sides) that normal wear & tear from adult weight & kids tossing & turning on your mattress would NOT result in tearing. It was hard for us to zip it up (it takes two people) and the fabric was strong - if it were weak fabric, we would have seen small tears around where it was sewn due to our handling to make sure the twin box springs (& queen mattress cover) were tight & secure. I've also sewn clothes & repaired my kids clothes most of my life, and this product's fabric feels & seems quite durable. Q: Is your wood platform surface unfinished or does it have a rough surface that could produce splinters or tearing in the fabric's bottom, if there was lots of movement (e.g., jumping by kids) that could produce sliding of the mattress on the platform during use? How smooth is your large sheet of wood to touch? If it is not rough, you should have no problems. If you still have doubts, I'd suggest you contact the company directly if you are really concerned. The company should be able to give you the technical fabric specs (e.g., just like threads count for sheets determine their durability). Hope this helps.

This fabric is nice & soft & lightweight & sheer. Using it in between two layers of a very sheer fabric would give a tiny bit of extra 'body' overall. I wouldn't say it'll act like batting, but it will change the hand of the item being made. It washes very well.

Dear JC, I need to correct that answer. It will be 4 yards for y ou not 8 yards ( as was my previous answer). I ordered 2 yards of this oilcloth which is 47 inches wide. You can get almost 4 pieces of 25"x25" from a yard of it. So that comes to like 3 1/2 yards---- 4 to allow for enough to be on the safe side. My apologies. :) -- Hope this helps.

Hi Jenah, Yes the fabric is sold in one continuous length but mine had to be straighten on both ends still added to the yardage that I ordered. I did not have time to order new fabric when I found the 2 to 3 inch stain but it was hidden in the corset piece so I did not care. Yes it should work well for wedding arch it goes goo with both white,ivory and blues. I do have my own business of wedding, prom, child, and pets. Also I have my own home things also such as quilts.

It's like a vinyl, but it's easy to sew. I attached it to a standard store bought curtain with my regular $50 sewing machine with no problems.

I think this is a good choice of fabric for that. The only thing to be aware of is that chiffon frays easily on the side where it is cut, so you just have to make sure that it doesn't get pulled to much on that side.

I really like mine, but I have found the recommended blade settings for cutting fabric are not accurate. I use mine for cutting fabric a whole lot to applique and I go through matts fairly quickly. However, I have had much success cutting vinyl. if I could do it over again I would invest in the cameo for the larger cutting size. Hope this helps!

It is not as thick as the regular painting canvas a person would purchase at a craft store, but I did use it to paint on. I used plain acrylic paint mixed with a fabric medium. I'm currently using it as a rug. I heard of others using regular wall paint and hanging them as curtains. If you want high quality, this probably is not your best option. However, for the price, I would try it. Worse case scenario would be to use it as a drop cloth or start a different project:)

It is pretty durable fabric. Branches and twigs would not effect it. Our two are hung from trees in the woods.
