Can you cut it to go through a printer? Is it thick enough?
Is there chlorine resistant fabric that is see through like organza?
So shell fabric is the inside layer material of a garment (the one which touches the skin) and lining is the outside layer material of a garment?

Make me a FR shirt XL Light weight for the Texas summer 105 * 2 blue, 2 gray Please
Can this be cut and tied for a blanket = no sew?
I luv this. So informative
Beautiful scissors!
Thanks again for featuring the new pattern and educating us on all the performance fabrics that are sun protective and wicking! I find my sample made with Polartec Delta to be extremely comfortable in both mid-day sun as well as a touch of warmth as the sun sets. I had no idea UPF30 was so protective!
Someone please help me source this fabric I need it for my brand
Where can I get this fabric
Leslie are you going to show us your new machine hehe
Once I get it working!
@@discoverytrekkingoutfitter3140 ahhhhh cool i cant wait hehe
Thank you! I understand now.
Update! The new Caress fabric is the same content as Nulu. We think it’s the closest. Even more so than Angelskin
ACG Sierra light jacket used it as a lining back then and recently when they RETRO’D it
Can it be used for casual tee?
Beautiful stitching!
Sweet cheeks you answered the question I was wondering about 100%. Thanks.
Thanks for the great tip!
Great idea!What are you wearing? Pattern and fabric please. Thanks
This is great information, thanks for this video 🙌
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello! Thank you for the video! I am wanting to make a cowl neck pullover sweater using a fabric like this. Although, the grids are meant to be on the inside of the garment, closest to the body, I really like the look of the grids on the outside. If I was do sew a garment like this, should I line the inside of the sweater? If so, what lining would you recommend? I am considering doing a double layer of the grid Polartec allowing to have the grid on the inside for technical benefits and outside for aesthetics. What would you recommend? Thanks!
Does this fabric have any spandex in it or is 100% modal?
I’d like to know more about cordura. Could you perhaps speak on the water tightness and ease of stitching
Speaking of hats, looking for a good hat for sun protection, but need it to handle head sweating. My hair gets soaked. For context, I live in Florida, so hot and humid most of the year.
Great question and a tough one, too! Are you in our Facebook Group, Sew Inspired by Discovery Fabrics? I think this is an excellent question to throw out to our collective mind as it may generate answers from other customers that live in similar conditions and have made hats with some of our fabrics. Off the top of my head, I'm wondering if you could make a hat with our Stretch Woven fabric style called Sun Pro. It's on our Stretch Woven page and is a very lightweight stretch woven with a UPF rating of 50+. I think it could make a bucket style or baseball style cap.
Can I use a regular beginner sewing machine and needle to hem a shirt made of a moisture wicking mesh layered fabric?
Great stuff. Next time when you do the presentation, could you mention the weights of the fabrics as well? Thanks.
We will certainly try! When we do a video like this with many different fabrics, we try not to make it toooo long with a lot of detail about each different fabric, but we certainly understand how the weights of each fabric can be an important factor in decision making:) . For now, you will find all the Specs and Features (including oz/sqyd and gsm) below the main fabric description on each webpage, under the Specs and Features heading!
Where can I get Hypercool fabric?
UPF 50 is perfect for Florida They need to make clothing out of this stuff and sell it at an enormous volume This is what people need
Where can I find clothing made out of these materials?
Silver? The metal?
YES! this was a great discovery on fabrics! Comparison descriptions were very helpful. Please make more videos like these please. For example you could read the tags on any brand clothing and explain what the fabrics are and show examples. Loved it!
Super awesome video. I’ve been doing a lot of research on cold weather base layers and this has been the most helpful source I’ve come across. The explanation of hydrophilic interior + hydrophobic exterior was a big help.
Our supply of Alpha Direct sells fast, so each time you visit our website you may see different colors and styles available. We buy as much as we can warehouse, as its so hard to get. But we try to keep enough in stock to meet your needs!
Hey can you tell me a fabric that feels like cotton,not slippery but is oil and water proof.
Great info! Excited to buy a Delta cycling jersey and try it out this summer.
Great video! Very informative presentation. About 10 yrs. ago I purchased a Copper-fit cooling cloth from the clearance aisle @ Walmart. I never saw it advertised. I never found another one. I saw two bad reviews, but they didn't use it how I did. The package reads UPF 50+ 85% polyester 11% spandex 4% copper and other fibers (whatever that means). I can't find it anywhere. Do you have it or something similar?
Where can I buy that fabric😢
That makes sense 😂 I noticed several kinds of fleece are defined as Power Grid and have been confused until now ❤
How can l order for nylon cloth for bag also in print
Thanks! A couple of suggestions: Instead of the pony bead at the cord lock to prevent it from slipping off, simply tie a knot and then thread the two ends through the cord lock. At the other end, instead of the cord clip, simply sear the ends (quickly!) to seal the cord and tuck the ends into the laces toward the toe of the shoe. I appreciated being given the diameter of the cord used.
Wtf is wrong with you??? 🤷🏻♂️
Angelskin is sooo like Nulu. I can’t tell the difference. One of my favourites.
Awesome!!!
These videos are soooooo helpful.
❤❤❤ Thank you sooo much. I'm on it now for my heavy girl. Greetings from California 😊❤
That´s what I would call "milf".
Hello! I have a question about such fabric if you don't mind giving me your thoughts about it :) Do you think that such fabric could be useful to protect/reflect the heat _away_ from the body? I'm thinking about trying it out! Thanks :)
Not sure 🤷♀️. Haven't heard of it being used in that application.
@@discoverytrekkingoutfitter3140 hehe yeah I'm a weird guy who really doesn't like being warm :p Thanks for answering anyhow! :) Good day to you!
@@Svafne in that case just don't use the jacket
yes, in fact, if you don't add padding, it will take away your heat, because these reflective material is made of aluminium and is better conductor than cotton or down. It works only if we use insulation, if we don't, will be the opposite.
Hi, I’m looking to make a puffer jacket, would you suggest a heavier gsm of nylon or would this work fine? Seems a little thin for me. Also would you use polyester instead of nylon? Thank so much
Down Proof DWR is generally recommended to ensure you don't lose fibers of your insulation. It's more important than the weight of the lining itself.
