Ep. 156 - Fabric Trivia Goes Awry

You can sew with a fabric for years and still be surprised by how much you don’t know about it. Ryan and Matt are back for a fabric quiz that digs into the specs, terminology, and secrets, while uncovering some surprisingly useful things to consider when choosing materials for your next project.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• A surprisingly difficult fabric quiz covering everything from hydrostatic head and solution dyeing to UHMWPE blends, fabric weights, and warp vs. weft
• Why some of the specs we obsess over may matter less in the real world than we think
• The fabric application triad and the tradeoffs between price, weight, and durability when choosing materials for a project
• A head-to-head backpack fabric draft where every point earned in the quiz becomes buying power for main, accent, stretch, and liner fabrics

Play along, keep track of your score, and see if your fabric knowledge can beat Ryan and Matt.
