- Is this fabric good for quilting or for garments?
- Both. At 43/44 inches wide with an 80/20 cotton-linen blend, it works for quilts, bags and simple garments. The linen adds drape, so it suits tops and dresses better than stiff cotton.
- Does the linen content make it hard to sew?
- Not especially. At 20% flax it behaves close to quilting cotton but frays a bit more. Use a new needle and finish seams with a zigzag or overlock stitch.
- Will it shrink?
- Linen blends usually shrink some on the first wash. Prewash in cool water and tumble dry low before cutting so finished projects keep their size.
- Is $15.20 a good price?
- It is the only new price listed, $15.20 at Stash Fabrics as of November 4, 2026. Designer linen blends often run $12 to $18 a yard, so it sits mid-range, but there is no second store to compare against.
- What else is in the Orchard Run collection?
- Orchard Run is a Robert Kaufman collection designed by Anna Graham. It includes coordinating prints and wovens in similar earthy tones; check the collection listing to match the taupe.
- How should I care for it?
- Machine wash cool and tumble dry low. Remove promptly to limit wrinkles, and press with a warm iron; the linen content means it will crease more than all-cotton fabric.
- Where is the Clover Taupe Fabric cheapest?
- At Stash Fabrics, for $15.20, as of our latest check.
