Working With Sequin Fabric For The First Time

Working with sequin fabrics for the first time can feel a little daunting, but there are some things you can do to keep things as straightforward as possible:

• Choose a simpler pattern: Sequin fabrics demand more preparation work than other fabrics, so complex patterns can only complicate the matter. You can ramp up the complication factor once you are more experienced with the fabric.
• Test your design: Use another fabric that is similar to sequin fabric, this may include a stretch mesh, to practice your design to then execute it more comfortably on sequin fabric afterwards.

These are some top tips for beginners that make working with sequins a little easier, but they are far from the only professional tips you can implement. Check out our projects page to find different ways you can use this unique, gorgeous fabric!

Sequin Fabrics FAQs

How Should I Cut Sequin Fabric?

Before you start cutting your sequin fabric, you also need to check how your sequins are laying on your garment. As you know already, the cut of your fabric will influence how the sequins lay, so this is something that requires careful consideration.

Check how your sequins will lay on your garment and then cut in that direction, so the direction of the sequins remains unaffected. Evidently, this can be a painstaking process that takes a lot of time. However, it is better than ending up with a garment with sequins that seem to lay wrong. So, it is worth spending some extra time on the cutting process.

Can I Iron Sequin Fabrics?

This is the one thing you cannot do with sequin fabrics, because sequins can melt under the heat of the iron. If you do need to flatten your sequin fabric, it is best to use a garment steamer. Be careful, though, you should keep enough distance between the steamer and the fabric, otherwise it could still influence the fabric negatively.

Do I Always Need To Add Lining To Sequin Fabric?

When you construct a garment from sequin fabric, you need to take comfort into consideration. Sequin fabrics are some of the most beautiful, but not necessarily the most comfortable. So, to add to your comfort level, simply use an appropriate lining fabric to make the garment more comfortable to wear. Be sure to check the lining fabrics in our overview to find the perfect option for your needs.
