If you think of material as the length is north to south the selvedges as West to East, the WEft runs from selvedge to selvedge. Hope that makes sense and helps you remember
Bravo, Whitney! This had to have been a Herculean effort to prepare for this video and I can’t begin to tell you just how much your research and the sharing of your personal experience is appreciated. I don’t think I’ve ever paused and reversed a video so much in my life! I took notes, of course! I would have to say that the majority if not all of the garment fabric shopping today is done online and with a little pressure from the sewing community I’m hoping we can influence these shops to come up with a standard “label” for all fabric descriptions (similar to the nutrition labels on food products) so that we know what we are purchasing. (p.s. Your “No, just no.” Made me laugh 😂)
Very informative video Whitney! I discovered a few weeks ago that the quilting cotton company, Moda Fabrics, is making some apparel fabric now. I don’t know if you have ever heard of Missouri Star Quilt Co. (it’s like quilters Disneyland) but they have started carrying apparel fabric. They have a cotton modal knit that Moda makes. They make such high quality fabric that I knew the apparel fabric would awesome and it is. So lovely. 60” wide and only about $12 a yard. They have coupons all the time too. I bought some rayon and a stretch cotton twill from them also. Free shipping over $59. Just an FYI. 🥰
What?!!! I didn't know Missouri Star was selling apparel! My in-laws live 10 minutes from their shops and I pop in there when we visit. I'm going to definitely have to go over there next time, now! Thanks for the heads up!
Amazing video, I had no idea poplin and quilting cotton was the same thing. As a quilter, who is now moving into garment sewing, all of these fabric terms can be so confusing. I have watched all of your "Learning Fabric" videos and they are very informative. Thank you!
Yes, Whitney is a gem! There’s just something so fabulous about having details presented by someone who is not just knowledgeable, but fully and enthusiastically engaged in the subject, as Whitney is on all things sewing related. I am an experienced, “seasoned” - a delicate way to say “old” 😂 - sewer, and I learn things from Whitney all the time. I remember when quilting became really popular again, many years ago. Shops dedicated to quilting fabrics were not yet as ubiquitous as they are now, and those of us who fell instantly in love with quilting shopped garment fabric stores for fabric that was suitable for quilt-making. “Quilting cottons” were just “cotton poplin” back then, and they were and still are completely suitable for garment sewing. As with any fabric, you just need to keep its properties in mind when selecting a sewing pattern, because they are definitely not interchangeable with shirtings, as Whitney explained. Also, as you’ve likely discovered in your quilting experience, not all quilting cottons are created equal. I have found many to be much softer and more drapey than others.
I recently found your channel, and boy am I glad! I signed up for your newsletter when you first announced it. Thank you! Anyway, I am nowhere near experienced with sewing (i'm barely a beginner). My mom was able to sew anything (literally) so I never felt the need. By the time I did she wasn't here. So...I am thrilled and looking forward to Sunday as I just purchased some inexpensive cotton (it was on sale) to trial making a dress. It has darts! Thanks so much for this channel. It's a blessing and a blast. I so enjoy watching you!
I read the Fabric books by Sandra Betzina and have taken the fabric class through Bluprint (Craftsy) and have been sewing for years. I still learned quite a bit from your cotton talk. Thank you so much for these very informative fabric masterclasses.
My way to remember warp is from Star Trek warp speed. Warp speed is forward motion, I relate that to the grain line, warp. Weft is the opposite direction of warp. Thank you for your explanation of cotton.
Whitney, thank you for this in depth look at cottons. I treated myself to a cotton lawn from Stylemaker fabrics last year. It is lovely. I finally sewed it up into a ITS Seychelles. I feel amazing when I wear it. Totally worth it.
Your information is perfect for summer sewing, thanks so much! (And I think the fit of your color blocked top is so very flattering for you. The shoulder seams are A+) [not that you asked ......]
Excellent! So much info. That’s a good thing. I am an Input person, I like lots of detail and lots of information and this checked all the boxes. Cotton, the fabric of our life! 🎶 Remember that commercial ? Maybe not, you’re not that old. Lol. Loved this, take care. Oh, and your hair is cute pulled back. Can’t wait for the results of your holy tee experiment.
Learned something about Oxford cloth. BTW I came across an Italian seersucker corduroy at Mood Fabrics and got it. It really has the seersucker weave but with a pile. So interesting to learn about the different weaves.
Thanks for this video Whitney ! You didn't mention how you use seerpucker. I am curious to know how best to use that type of cotton fabric ? Tops or bottoms or dress ? I am a beginner sewist btw. 🙂 Thanks !
I'm so sorry I skipped over that! You can use seersucker for pants (suits are often made with it even though its pretty lightweight), shorts, skirts, structured tops (they make great button ups) and dresses. It's a lovely fabric!
This is such helpful information. Now I have a clue on what fabric to buy for a shirt & top I want to make. Can’t wait to see the next 2 videos coming up.
Thank you so much Witney. I just recently started sewing garments and this is fantastic information. I watch all your videos and look forward to all of them.
Love this information. I do a little bit of loom weaving and the way I remember which is the weft and which is the warp is..the weft goes 'weft and wight'. Not my idea but one of the weaving instructors I follow. Keep up the good work.
If it says Cotton, I am all in. Cotton is king at my home in Alabama. HINT: Cotton w/Lycra woven Shirting makes great summertime overalls. Today, I am wearing a pair in woven plaid cut into Patten KWIK SEW K3897. I am shopping for stretch seersucker! Oh my gosh, I like the way seersucker stands off the 'hot summertime' body. Thank you, Whitney. ~ L
So much fabulous information, thank you! I love learning about fabric. Lindsey from Inside the Hem used a spray on product specifically to keep knits from rolling, but I’ve forgotten the name (not a spray starch). I just worked with 100% cotton jersey for a laundry day dress, and while it looks cute and I’m sure will wear well, I like the kind with stretch much better. I swore I’d never use rayon jersey again after making a nightgown, but then I slept in it. It is so light and cool that it was worth the struggle and I ordered more yardage 😆
Very helpful information!! But I think I missed your conversation on batiste fabric, did u discuss batiste? Its sort of same as voile, or between voile and lawn? And what are its best uses? Thank you!
I totally meant to talk about batiste and then skipped it! I'm so sorry! Yes, it is between a lawn and a voile. It is also great for linings (I just find it a bit harder to source than lawn) and it's also really great for garments that use smocking or elastic shirring. The light weight nature means that the fabric pleats up really well so you'll see smocked garments in batiste quite frequently!
What a great video! I know what you mean about chiffon! My mom made my wedding dress with it & had a time. It turned out beautiful. So when I made both my daughters wedding dresses, I told them no chiffon...lol I was wondering about batiste. I've found that it washes and dries better than cotton lawn for lining fabric. So do you prefer cotton french terry as apposed to rayon blend french terry. I've gotten some that looked faded after only wearing a few times.
I meant to talk about cotton batiste and totally forgot! Batiste is not quite as tightly woven as lawn, but is tighter than voile so it sits in between. I find it a bit harder to find, but it's a great option for linings! To answer your question, I do prefer cotton French Terry to the rayon. You are correct that cotton will fade more quickly than a rayon, but I find them so much easier to wear. The rayon French Terry that I've used in the past just seems to grow as I wear it and I'm not happy with the final garment.
@@TomKatStitchery I thought that lawn & batiste we're similar. The cotton batiste comes out of the dryer really nice, that's why I prefer it over lawn to line. Now of course the cotton lawn I originally bought for lining probably wasn't the highest quality.....
Cotton canvas? Is that a plain weave cotton that is heavier than quilting cotton? I have read that some canvas can be used for jacket and pants, but some is too stiff. Also, I thought poplin was smoother and slightly thinner than quilting cotton. I am using some poplin now from Stylemaker that has those properties. Nowadays, the quality quilting cotton from a quilt store (not the big chain stores) can be quite substantial. Thanks, Whitney. I always learn something from your videos.
I forgot canvas! Canvas is usually a very similar weight to twill. It has a different weave (not the diagonal) but is great for jackets and pants (items you would use bottom weights for). Poplin and quilting cotton are the same, but there are varying degrees of thickness. Some of the new quilting cottons that are meant for both quilting and apparel, are a little thinner.
I just loved this reel. I want so much to learn the goods n bads of fabric for my body. Can you recommend a good book that will give me more info on other fabrics and maybe have some samples of some stretch fabrics. Your reels on fabrics are excellent but I would love to have a book for reference. Thank you so much.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Sandra Betzina has a book called Fabric Savvy that is excellent as a reference book! Claire Shaeffer also has a book called Fabric Sewing Guide that is great. I have both of these in my own library!
I don’t hear about anybody stretching fabric like I learned in junior high. I find I still need to occasionally stretch fabric to get the grain to lay straight. My problem now is that I don’t have anyone to help me hold the other end. Do you have any hints?
Do you mean pulling fabric to get it back on grain? I can definitely talk about that, but I just grab opposite corners (so grabbing on the bias) and give it a tug. I just do it in sections as I go down the yardage.
Hi Whitney, really like this learning series on fabrics! I have a low stretch knit fabrics that I want to use but don’t know which pattern would suit. One is a speckled knit from Robert Kaufman - the description says it’s 50% stretch but it sure doesn’t feel like it. What would you do - look for a low stretch pattern or size up? Thanks so much!
There are two green tops behind me and they are the same pattern (for my daughter). They are both M8198. The print is made out of a rayon challis and the solid is made from a cotton double gauze. They are both really lovely!
Which Itch-to-stitch blouse pattern were you referring to that you made out of voile? I couldn’t quite make out the name & didn’t see anything on her website. Also I think the transcript was incorrect. Thanks!!!!
I am going to make boxer briefs (BRIEFS, not boxer Shorts) for a female. She wants me to use 100% cotton, but No Spandex/Lycra, as she has sensitive skin. Any recommendations? TIA
While I haven't made any boxer briefs, I would assume most of the patterns are drafted for fabrics with some lycra. I would just size up a size and you should be good.
Another point regarding the printed on stripes - it may look on grain…until you prewash it. Once the sizing is washed out, the fabric will relax into its natural grain, at which point the stripes may very well be revealed to be printed off grain. Very frustrating.
Hi Whitney, this is Kathleen. I’ve switch google account a couple of times, so you might not recognize me. I start a channel. I will be mentioning you frequently, more content creators do. But I promise it will always be in a positive light. Soon, I am posting a closet edit. Is it permissible for me to compare my wardrobe to your summer guidelines? Thanks in advance.
If you think of material as the length is north to south the selvedges as West to East, the WEft runs from selvedge to selvedge. Hope that makes sense and helps you remember
That is how we were taught to remember the difference in my college textile course back in the early 70s!
Thanks, I think I will be able to remember that 😄
Cool! Thank you! ❤️
That is so good!!! Thank you! I think that will stick!
Bravo, Whitney! This had to have been a Herculean effort to prepare for this video and I can’t begin to tell you just how much your research and the sharing of your personal experience is appreciated. I don’t think I’ve ever paused and reversed a video so much in my life! I took notes, of course! I would have to say that the majority if not all of the garment fabric shopping today is done online and with a little pressure from the sewing community I’m hoping we can influence these shops to come up with a standard “label” for all fabric descriptions (similar to the nutrition labels on food products) so that we know what we are purchasing. (p.s. Your “No, just no.” Made me laugh 😂)
Wouldn't that be lovely to have more standardized descriptions?!!
Love your hair and the tee shirt. Thank you for this series, as always very informative and enjoyable.
Thank you so much!
omg - thank you! I've been SO confused by all the different types of cotton! This helps.
I'm so glad!

I finally remembered warp and weft by remembering that ‘weft’ ran ‘left’ and right on the fabric. This was a great overview. Thanks!
I love that way to remember!
This the way I remember it also

I'm so glad!
Our local Joann’s has a lovely display of Liberty Cotton Lawn with many patterns. I drool over it every time I go into Joann’s.
I need to pop in there and see if my local one has any of these. I LOVE Liberty Tana Lawn!

Color block Stanton, or a Lamas hoodie from Itch to Stitch. :)
Ooh! Yes!!!
I’m confused on the word jersey. Does it just mean knit? Great info in that video. Thanks for your hard work.
Yes. Jersey is referring to the "knit on one side and purl on the other." A lot of companies, however, use jersey synonymous with knit.
@@TomKatStitchery thanks.

You could look for a low stretch fabric or size up, or you could also use low stretch knits on patterns for woven. I've done that a number of times!
@@TomKatStitchery thank you
Have you done any Project Dress a Girl? If so what cotton would you recommend? Guidelines are strong, lightweight but not see through.
I haven't, but I would choose, cotton lawns, shirtings and poplins!
This a little off-topic. What pattern is the green top which is hanging behind you? It looks like it would be very comfortable.
There are two green tops behind me and they are the same pattern (for my daughter). They are both M8198. The print is made out of a rayon challis and the solid is made from a cotton double gauze. They are both really lovely!
Weft = left and right to the grainline - which is easy to remember as it rhymes :P
I love that!
Which Itch-to-stitch blouse pattern were you referring to that you made out of voile? I couldn’t quite make out the name & didn’t see anything on her website. Also I think the transcript was incorrect.
Thanks!!!!
I believe she mentioned the Itch to Stitch Lemont Top
It was the Lemont Top. I made my version out of a silk/cotton voile and I really liked the end results!
I am going to make boxer briefs (BRIEFS, not boxer Shorts) for a female. She wants me to use 100% cotton, but No Spandex/Lycra, as she has sensitive skin. Any recommendations? TIA
While I haven't made any boxer briefs, I would assume most of the patterns are drafted for fabrics with some lycra. I would just size up a size and you should be good.
If you need a pattern, I would try Jalie Patterns or Thread Theory.
@@TomKatStitchery Thank you. Can you give me a recommendation for fabric type to use?
@@Sheri... I would look for just 100% cotton jersey. The Fabric Store often carries some and if she wanted prints, Sew Batiks jersey is 100% cotton!
My way to remember is Weft goes from weft (left) to right
That's a good way to remember!
Another point regarding the printed on stripes - it may look on grain…until you prewash it. Once the sizing is washed out, the fabric will relax into its natural grain, at which point the stripes may very well be revealed to be printed off grain. Very frustrating.
It is SOO frustrating!
I'm working on poly chiffon and never again 😩😭😤🤒
I feel your pain!
Haha, I used that same Canva pic for my channel
😂 it's a good one!
Ah, I teach basic (very basic) weaving to 10 year olds. To remember warp and weft: long ways goes into the future in WARP drive. 🙂
I love that!
