Not all fabrics are created equal. Many local markets and sellers offer synthetic or low-quality blends labeled as “premium.” Here's how you can confidently identify high-quality unstitched fabric.
Step 1: Check the Thread Count and Weight
High thread count usually means finer quality. When you hold the fabric, it should:
-
Feel dense and smooth
-
Fall gracefully
-
Not feel paper-thin or overly stiff
Step 2: The Water Test (for Cotton)
Drop a few water drops on the fabric:
-
Absorbs quickly? It’s likely pure cotton.
-
Stays on surface? It’s likely synthetic or polyester blend.
Step 3: Texture and Finish
Rub the fabric between your fingers:
-
Soft, breathable, and slightly textured? Good quality.
-
Rough, overly shiny, or plastic-like? Likely poor quality.
Bonus Tip: Smell and Color
Quality fabric usually has no chemical smell, and the dye doesn’t bleed on rubbing with a wet cloth.
