This gingham fabric cut measures 12" x 38," making it suitable for finishes up to 10" x 36." If you order multiple units of the same color, we will make an effort to have them be one continuous length.
Gingham is one of Amanda's favorite go-to backing fabrics for needlepoint finishing. It is lightweight, non-stretchy, easy to work with around corners, and the classic check pattern adds a charming, polished touch to the back of ornaments, standups, hangings signs, and more. The small repeat means the pattern reads beautifully even on smaller pieces, and it pairs with just about any canvas colorway.
Why finishers love gingham:
Pre-cut at 12" x 38," plenty of fabric for most finishing projects
Lightweight cotton construction laces cleanly and holds its shape
Non-stretchy, so it will not distort during finishing
Classic check pattern works with a wide range of canvas designs and colorways
Perfect for ornaments, standups, flat finishes, and hanging signs
A finishing tip: Iron a piece of HeatnBond Lightweight Fusible Interfacing onto the back of your fabric before cutting for easier handling and a cleaner, fraying-free finish.
