This is beautiful fabric, very high quality. The color is great. It’s important to note that the weave is extremely tight, which gives the fabric a beautiful taffeta-like quality, but which makes it extremely difficult to handle. With a sharp new needle it sees on the machine just fine, but it is very hard to hand sew. I bent several pins, broke a couple of needles and ended up having to purchase some super fine, super sharp Japanese needles in order just to baste it. So if you are a beginner, choose the lighter poplin instead. This is not for the faint of heart!
