From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A textile is a flexible material consisting of a network of natural or artificial fibres often referred to as thread or yarn. Yarn is produced by spinning raw wool fibres, linen, cotton, or other material on a spinning wheel to produce long strands. Textiles are formed by weaving, knitting, crocheting, knotting, or pressing fibres together (felt). The words fabric and cloth are used in textile assembly trades (such as tailoring and dressmaking) as synonyms for textile. However, there are subtle differences in these terms in specialized usage. Textile refers to any material made of interlacing fibres. Fabric refers to any material made through weaving, knitting, crocheting, or bonding. Cloth refers to a finished piece of fabric that can be used for a purpose such as covering a bed. From Wikipedia under the

What's the difference between that and any other cotton fabric? I know decorator fabric is wider than other fabrics, but what's so unique about quilting fabric that makes it especially for quilts? Also what about quilting thread versus other threads? It it just thicker? Thanks!!! Asked by MissTiff - Sun Feb 22 10:15:59 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Quilting thread has a wax coating - do not put it into the sewing machine. Use cotton or general purpose thread. The type of fabic you choose should depend on how the quilt will be used. If it will be handled a lot and washed - cotton. If you want to make an art quilt or wall hanging, you can use anything you want - it will never be handled and will not need to be washed. Fabric sold in quilt shops is a higher quality and finer weave of cotton than what is sold in fabric stores and it is usually twice the price. Decorator fabrics are a coarser weave and usually require dry cleaning. Traditionally, cotton sold for quilting is used to make a quilt, but you can choose and use whatever you wish.

Q. I would like to make suede inkjet printer fabric sheets, so that I can print images on it for a pillow I want to create. Asked by dnb197435 - Sat Jun 14 16:59:13 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. You may not be able to find a suede or faux-suede thin enough to be able to send through the printer. I've had a lot of success with lighter cottons (broadcloth and sateen) by ironing an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of freezer paper (shiny side down) to it then cutting around the edges - it's like a piece of card stock! Sateen is a very soft cotton so you might want to consider using it instead of suede. You might also want to consider just purchasing a package of iron-on inkjet fabric transfer sheets. Just print what you'd like on the sheet and iron it to your project. Super easy.
