Darker fabrics can release the color.
The fabric has a large number of shades .
We have tried: We work with the cotton canvas went very well. It was easy to draw on the material when marking the cuts with tailor's chalk. It was cut and sewn well. This fabric is suitable for beginning seamstresses, does not slip when sewing. We used a universal needle with a strength of 70 to sew. The edges were slightly frayed, so it is advisable to clean them with a machine with an overlock stitch. Before cutting and sewing, it is necessary to take into account the shrinkage and to precipitate the material in advance. We tried to wash at the temperature recommended by the supplier and the darker and more pronounced shades slightly let off the color. A small drawback is that the cotton cloth products crease, but on the other hand the cloth is well ironed. Every beginning seamstress should try working with canvas and not start sewing from materials that are more complicated to process and require a certain amount of experience (eg silks, satins, knits ...).
Before sewing, the fabric should be soak in hot water without chemicals, so it shrinks.
