Twill cotton stretch

Cotton stretch twill: the perfect mix of strength and flexibility

Cotton stretch twill combines the robust appearance of twill weave with the comfort of elastane. Thanks to 97% cotton and 3% elastane, a diagonal structure is created that is reminiscent of denim, but with enough stretch to be comfortable to wear. With a width of 1.35m and a weight of 265g/m², this fabric is suitable for both clothing and home accessories.

Tips for a perfect end result

Pre-wash at 30°C reduces the chance of shrinkage and ensures that your project remains tailor-made.
Needle selection A jeans needle size 90–100 prevents skipped stitches and fraying.
Stitch adjustment use a stitch length of 2.5–3mm for neat seams.
Yarn Choose polyester yarn for extra strength or use cotton for an authentic look.
Folding and pressing steps Always iron inside out at a low temperature with steam for best results.

Maintenance and durability

This fabric retains its beautiful color and shape even after many wears if you follow the washing instructions. The combination of cotton and elastane ensures that the fabric does not stretch or deform quickly. By not putting the fabric in the dryer and using lower ironing temperatures, the elasticity remains intact. Avoid bleaching and preferably opt for a gentle wash without chemicals.
