Soft cotton underlining to give a chasuble additional body.
French Micro Twill is a drapable cotton used beneath the face fabric of a chasuble. It can add body and improve the way a fabric hangs without the firm finish of canvas.
Projects and possibilities
Consider it for chasubles that need more support, or to help reduce the shadow of a colored lining through a lighter face fabric. For garment sewing beyond vestments, sample it as an underlining wherever the pattern calls for a soft cotton support.
Fabric details
- Fiber: Cotton
- Width: 60 inches (approximately 152 cm)
- Construction: Fine twill
- Colors: White and Pale Green
- Purchase options: Single White remnant, 48 inches long (1⅓ yards); Pale Green by the yard
Planning your project
White is offered as one remnant measuring 48 inches long (1⅓ yards). Pale Green is offered by the yard. No swatch option is currently offered on this listing.
Ordering this fabric
Select Pale Green for yardage; quantity 1 is 1 yard. For White, quantity 1 orders the entire 48-inch remnant (1⅓ yards). Please check the selected color and cut before adding it to your cart.
Care and preparation
Test for shrinkage and prepare the cotton before cutting. Underlining adds another layer, so consider the climate and the warmth of the completed garment.
Questions about this fabric
What does underlining do?
It is joined to the face fabric to change its body, support or opacity. It serves a different role from the separate lining that finishes the inside of the garment.
Should I use micro twill or silk organza?
Micro twill adds soft cotton body and another layer of coverage. Silk organza offers a sheer, lighter supporting layer. Compare samples with your face fabric and the drape your pattern needs.
