Collection: Working Fabric

Storage mounts, moving mounts, dust-free storage, mannequins, textile display....whatever you can think of, these “working fabrics” are a great help. We offer a selection of various muslins, flannels, stockinettes and twill tapes. The muslin, flannel and twill are unbleached, undyed, sizing-free and natural colored. The stockinette is 100% polyester in snowy white.

Samples, free of charge, are available upon request. Odd yardages and discounted put-ups available on our Sale page.


White Polyester Stockinette

White Polyester Stockinette

We offer stockinette in the standard White.

Stockinette is great for covering mannequins and many other functional storage uses. It is 100% polyester and has a nice "slip" that helps ease clothing and fabrics onto forms. All sizes stretch to about twice their width. The white stockinette is offered in 25 yard rolls in 3", 6", 8" and 10" widths. 
Some rolls may contain splices.

 

Rigid Spatulas

 

Rigid Spatulas

 

We use our deluxe, rigid black melamine spatulas for making mannequins and other stockinette-covered Ethafoam forms. We cut a slit in the foam and use the spatula to stuff the edge of the stockinette into the slit for a neat, finished look. Very clean. Very satisfying. 7-1/2" long. Sold in packs of 4.

Muslin

100% cotton muslin, unbleached and unsized, washed and pre-shrunk for textile mounts, covering mannequins, internal forms, etc. Offered in 68 square thread-count fabric. This weight has a very nice drape, similar to batiste, and is completely resin free.

The muslins are sold in pre-cut 5 yard pieces.

(So if you place an order, say, for 2 we will ship (2) five-yard pieces.)

Odd yardages and discounted put-ups available on our Sale page.

Flannel

4 oz Flannel

 

100% cotton flannel, unbleached and unsized fabric, for protective padding or 'tooth' to help hold textiles of any size in place. Offered in two weights, both of which can be glued or stapled to a wedge or tube for textile positioning and protection from the substrate.

  • The 4 ounce flannel is double-napped, very fine with a very nice tooth. 46" wide.
  • The 8 ounce flannel is napped on one side only, the other side is a twill pattern. It is yummy, creamy stuff, quite thick and should be used where more padding and more tooth is required.  

The flannels are sold in pre-cut 5 yard lengths.

So if, for example, you place an order for 2, we will ship (2) five-yard pieces.

 

Twill Tape

Twill Tape

 

A lovely unbleached, unsized 100% cotton twill tape, finer and softer than others we've found. Very useful for making storage mounts, for packing, shipping and for a host of other installation and storage needs.
