Frequently Asked Questions
Is Martini Olive a neutral or warm tone?
Martini Olive is a neutral olive-green with subtle warmth, making it easy to coordinate with natural, earthy, or industrial palettes. It pairs beautifully with black, tan, cream, and muted blues.
Can I use canvas for slipcovers or upholstery?
Yes — its 10oz weight provides the right balance of structure and flexibility for slipcovers, accent chairs, ottomans, and pillows. It drapes nicely while maintaining durability for everyday use.
Is this fabric good for outdoor or utility projects?
Absolutely! Martini Olive’s earthy tone is perfect for outdoor cushions, tote bags, tool rolls, and hunting or camping gear. For water-repellent performance, consider our waxed canvas options.
Can I use 10 oz canvas for cornhole bags?
Yes — 10oz cotton duck is one of the most popular choices for cornhole bags. It’s durable, easy to sew, and holds up well to repeated use.
How does 10oz canvas compare to 12oz canvas?
10oz canvas is slightly lighter and more flexible, ideal for home décor and bags. 12oz canvas offers additional body and rigidity for heavy-duty applications like seat covers or tool aprons.
Is it safe to dye, paint, or print on this fabric?
Yes — the pure cotton content makes it excellent for screen printing, block printing, and fabric paints. Always prewash to remove finishing residues and test small areas first.
What kind of thread and needle should I use?
Use a size 90/14 or 100/16 needle with polyester or cotton/poly thread. A walking foot or heavy-duty machine foot can help with long seams or multi-layer stitching.
Can it be flame-retardant treated?
Yes — Big Duck Canvas offers certified FR treatments upon request. FR finishing typically adds 14–21 business days for processing and documentation. Contact us to learn more.
Will Martini Olive fade in sunlight?
Like most cotton fabrics, extended UV exposure can cause fading over time. For outdoor or sunlit environments, consider shade or lining fabrics for longevity.
Can I sew it on a home sewing machine?
Yes! Most home sewing machines handle 10oz cotton duck easily. Adjust tension, use a sharp needle, and test a small sample before starting your project.
Is preshrunk canvas completely shrink-proof?
Preshrunk means initial shrinkage has been reduced, but a small amount (3–5%) can still occur depending on wash temperature. Always prewash before cutting for precision sewing.
