Fleece & plush

Fleece & plush combine a soft feel with good thermal insulation and are therefore particularly popular with amateur sewers. In this fabric category, you will find versatile variants from smooth-looking fleece to voluminous plush, which are suitable for clothing, home accessories and cuddly projects.

What is fleece & plush suitable for?

Typical uses include jackets, hoodies, sweaters, baby blankets, sleeping bags, cuddly toys, hats, loops and home accessories such as cushions. Fleece is particularly suitable for warming layers of clothing, while plush fabrics shine in projects where softness and appearance are paramount.

Processing and sewing tips

When sewing with fleece and plush, it is worth following a few basic rules to ensure a neat result:

• Use jersey or stretch needles and a stretchy stitch (zigzag or stretch stitch) or the overlocker for stretch sewing.
• With voluminous plush, pay attention to the pile: keep to the direction of use and mark before cutting.
• Secure fabric pieces with fabric clips instead of pins, especially with high pile.
• For neater sewing, occasionally use a longer stitch length and topstitch seams close to the edge if necessary.
• When cutting to size, a rotary cutter and a smooth carpet pad help to reduce slippage.

Care and special features

Fleece and plush are generally easy care: washing on a gentle program, gentle detergent and a moderate spin cycle are often sufficient. Avoid using high heat when drying and ironing to protect the pile and fibers. Care instructions can always be found on the product label.
