Hi there! I'm working on creating a DIY custom headboard for my guest room using plywood. The headboard will consist of 3 plywood boards measuring: 4' x 3'11 1/2 (2 boards) and 4' x 3'11 (1 board). I will add batting to the boards first, and then cover each board with fabric (using a staple gun to secure the batting and fabric on the back). Can someone help me calculate how much yardage of fabric is needed to complete this? Thank you!

Not sure where else to post this, but I have a rug that keeps on bunching up and I can’t seem to figure out how to stop it.

Anybody have any suggestions? I’ve tried other sub Reddit but they don’t want this question there ha ha.

I came here to ask what makes different cotton fabrics more valuable, I've heard of different types and different blends different treatments all that. I've heard specifically of selvedge which gets me intrigued and I understand what is different about it but I want to know how to identify what is good quality and novel fabric so I can better decide what I want to wear.
All that I am looking for is some sort of guide or know how on unique and special types of cotton fabrics especially denim if anybody knows any, I've looked online but I must be bad with keywords because I just can't find what I'm looking for

Please help!

Hello,

As the title suggests I’d like to know which UV wavelength is used to inspect yarn cones for defects under UV light, especially shade and size mixup. Ive seen some videos on YT where they shine a light a on it and it shines back in a different color. The yarn used is 100% cotton. Thanks for the help.

Smallish digital images, onto stretchy fabric - preferably not sending off my images somewhere. I want to be able to print from home.

Ideas welcome! Thank you

So my mom bought me a flannel jacket when she was in ireland back in 2001. I recently bought a flannel jacket online from china

Why is it more like microfiber then the fluffy flannel from years back. Its completely different in quality

Is it hard to find flannel thats gluffy (nappy?)

New ones are way too smooth that i can compare it to flannel

Not sure If this is the place to ask, but is there a relatively east way to make a baby tee/booty shorts from a normal t-shirt/pair of jeans? I'd really love to get better at making stuff myself plus it's cheaper Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I’m working on a school assignment where I need advice from at least two experts regarding clothing quality for a company in the Netherlands, The Sting. Your input would be incredibly valuable, even if it’s just a few sentences explaining why certain research questions work or how they could be improved.

I’m also required to collect contact details (e.g., email, LinkedIn, Instagram, or similar) to verify the input comes from an expert. If you're willing to help, please DM me your thoughts and contact information.

Here’s the focus of my research:

Research Goal:
To develop a strategy that improves the clothing’s quality to better meet customer expectations.

Central Question:
What strategies can The Sting implement to improve its clothing quality and better align with customer expectations over time?

Sub-Questions:

1. What specific aspects of clothing quality do The Sting’s customers prioritize most, and how can these be measured effectively?
2. What gaps currently exist between The Sting’s clothing quality and its customers’ expectations?
3. What internal processes or practices can be improved to enhance the overall quality of The Sting’s clothing?
4. How can The Sting ensure its clothing quality remains aligned with evolving customer expectations over time?

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a project to create an ultralight bivvy that is waterproof, highly breathable, and extremely lightweight. A bivvy is basically a layer between your sleeping bag and the outside and serves as a light weight stand alone shelter.

My goal is to optimize material properties for outdoor use, reducing weight while maintaining durability and comfort.

I recently reached out to a researcher who published a paper on highly breathable and durable waterproof polyimide electrospun nanofibrous membranes, asking whether nanofibers could be a viable material for my application. They responded that while nanofibers can greatly reduce weight, their intrinsic strength is low, and suggested cross-linking fibers or reinforcing them to improve durability.

Additionally, I received another paper from them on amphiphobic and recyclable electrospun membranes used for air filtration, which discusses methods for creating high-porosity, waterproof, and reusable nanofiber membranes.

My Questions:

1. Has anyone here worked with electrospun nanofibers for textiles or outdoor gear?
   • What challenges should I expect in terms of durability and processing?
2. How feasible is it to create a functional bivvy using electrospun nanofibers?
   • Would laminating the nanofiber layer onto a lightweight, porous fabric ruin its breathability?
   • Are there better ways to reinforce the material while maintaining airflow?
3. If I partner with a university lab, what equipment and processes should I look for?
   • I’m considering reaching out to materials engineering labs near Denver that focus on nanofibers or advanced textiles.

I’d love to hear any insights from materials scientists, textile engineers, or MYOG (Make Your Own Gear) enthusiasts who have experience working with high-performance membranes. If you have experience with nanofiber manufacturing, waterproof coatings, or breathable laminates, I’d appreciate your input!

Thanks in advance!

It is pleasure for me to join this group.

I got this fabric in a fabric store in the Netherlands roughly 11 years ago. We were told it was called Marmerstof and we bought the last little off cut of fabric and that it had been discontinued. I’m hoping someone recognizes this fabric under a different name perhaps and if anyone knows where to find it.

So to keep this brief, I am looking for a super transparent/ eco/ ethical textile printers in the EU, that offers cotton jersey fabric, with both GOTs and Oeko Tex standard 100 class 1, and holds certs for the safety of their inks or comes as close to this as possible! Does this exist???? I have searched high and low and I'm getting close but would love to ask here incase anyone can help me out! - thanks

Hello! I am looking for woven and suiting fabrics for summer in Pakistan, please hit me up

Hello! :) Does anyone know by chance what fabric this might be? It’s actually quite flat, it’s just the way it catches light- if that helps.

(Context: I know nothing about textile but I am looking for upholstery fabric for my own couch and have seen this one at a prop house on a vintage couch)

Hello production experts!

I run a small fleece garment business and am trying to get a custom made fleece pattern with our logo. I have seen some services like spoon flower that offer custom fleece prints, but I am looking for a scaleable option that offers durability in the pattern. For example, Joann fabrics has hundreds of different fleece patterns that don’t fade/are visible on right and wrong sides of the fabric. I can’t imagine that these patterns are all knitted and must be created by some kind of printing or dyeing process.

If anyone knows of a manufacturer that is capable and offers no minimums/samples please let me know!
