## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone know what the thread count is or if it is any good for hand embroidery?**
A: I tried to count the threads across an inch and I'd say about sixty. It is fairly fine and threads might show on the back but it is cheap enough to give it a try. I use it for patchwork. It is more substantial than poly cottons but a little bit light really. A needle goes through the threads quite easily.

**Q: Is the fabric prewashed or shrink free please**
A: I have had no problem at all

**Q: I need 2 x 3metres of this as one piece not a metre each, how do I order?**
A: It does say anything over one metre will come as one piece, so just order six metres and cut in half!  For two x 3 metres. 
If you meant 2 m x 3 m, you would need to order 5 m and have a join down the length 50cm in from one edge.

**Q: Would this make a good tablecloth 6ft by 2.6 table**
A: Hello, no I don't think it's suitable for a tablecloth. Its suitable for cot sheets, craft backings  etc I expect you will have a thicker cotton for a tablecloth. I hope that helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Calico fabric
*by A***A on 27 May 2025*

Very happy with the fabric, would use again

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value for money
*by J***N on 1 August 2024*

Before I ordered this fabric (in white), I read the reviews. Some say it was good quality, others saying it was a bit thin.In my opinion, the fabric is sturdy and medium weight. It had a lovely feeling to it.I originally ordered it for practicing some new patterns I'd made, but when I opened it, I've decided to make a crisp white shirt, or even a lined dress out of it. Defo going to be ordering more colours..
