polyester fabric
Hello everyone
Have been going through some of my mother's stuff and I found 2 totes full of new polyester fabric........ any ideas as what to do with it........ don't want to make cloths. |
Is this polyester double knit? I saw a rag rug made out of it - doubt if you could wear it out.
|
Thanks for the idea.... as our needle group was thinking of doing rag rugs.

I have a friend who makes polyester quilts for all her grandkids going to college. Even they can't wear those out or ruin them in coin laundry.

nanacc - does your friend have a trick for sewing the blocks with the polyester because of all the stretch???
had thought of doing a quilt but didn't know if I wanted to deal with all the stretch. any help would be appreciated. |
If you donate quilts, polyester double knit would be great for the homeless--very warm, stands up to hard use, easily washable and dryable.

I made a quilt out of polyester double knits for a grandson when he graduated and told him he could take it anywhere, to the beach, to ball games, put it in his car, take it camping, where ever he wanted. He liked it in his room because it was so warm all he needed was a sheet and the quilt, easy bed making!

Made a couple quilts with the double knit, and lots of clothing, never found stretching while sewing to be a problem.
