Kaffe Fassett Fabric
I read somewhere online that the Kaffe Fassett fabric was of very poor quality. For those of you who have KF fabric, what do you think? Agree or disagree?
|
I disagree.
|
I’m working with some now and think the quality is very good.
|
I have found it to be very nice fabric!
|
Not poor, just lightweight.
|
I think a lot of the "modern" designer fabric frays way easier then more traditional fabrics....I don't know why, it is usually lighter and too
|
It is very thin, last quilt, Kim McLean's flower garden, I used some timeless treasure fabrics to act as tone on tone. The difference was incredible.
|
It is super thin. I got a FQ of one of his shot cottons as a part of a mystery bundle, and it went in my donation box. Shot cotton is already flimsy and fray-prone to begin with, so when it's as thin as his prints it feels too fragile to put in a quilt. What's odd is prints by other Free Spirit designers didn't always strike me as being that thin.
|
It's not that it's "thin," it's that it's "fine." The difference is a higher thread count of finer threads. It's better quality than regular cotton fabrics. Regular quilting cottons have 60 threads per inch, where Kaffe's fabrics have 68 threads per inch.
|
Kaffe Fassett Collective fabrics have a slightly higher thread count (68 square), when compared to traditional quilting fabric (60 square), and are also a little lighter in weight (approx 110gsm compared to 150gsm).
Although the thread count is slightly higher the fabric is lighter in weight which is why it feels thin. I personally do not like Kafee Fassett fabric. |
