Frequently Asked Questions
Is this canvas fire retardant? Can it be made FR?
This 10oz cotton duck is not inherently fire retardant. However, Big Duck Canvas can custom treat any of our fabrics to meet FR standards (NFPA 701, CPAI-84, etc.). Treatments are handled by trusted U.S. partners and certified for compliance. Contact Big Duck for details or a quote.
Is 10oz canvas good for home décor and pillows?
Yes — its medium weight offers structure and softness for pillows, table runners, and upholstery accents. The vibrant Dark Citron shade adds a fresh, modern touch to any space.
Can I use Dark Citron canvas for cornhole bags and totes?
Absolutely! This 10oz duck cloth is strong, breathable, and easy to sew. Use heavy-duty thread and double-stitch seams for added durability. It’s a go-to choice for DIY cornhole sets and handmade bags.
How does 10oz canvas compare to 12oz canvas?
The 10oz duck is lighter and softer with better drape for décor projects and apparel. 12oz canvas has a denser weave and extra structure for heavy-duty uses like work aprons or upholstery.
Can I use Dark Citron canvas for draperies or window panels?
Yes — this canvas hangs beautifully. Its medium weight provides gentle structure and a tailored look, while the energetic green color brings a modern, cheerful accent to any room.
Will canvas still shrink even though it’s preshrunk?
Expect about 3–5% additional shrinkage depending on wash and dry settings. Always prewash and dry before cutting to ensure accurate measurements and fit.
What needle and thread work best?
Use a size 90/14 or 100/16 needle with a high-quality polyester or cotton/poly thread. A walking foot helps feed multiple layers evenly on long seams or bag construction.
Will the color vary between dye lots?
Minor shade differences are normal with cotton canvas. Order enough yardage for your entire project to maintain color continuity. Request a swatch for approval before ordering bulk yardage.
Can I sew this fabric on a home machine?
Yes! Most home machines can easily handle 10oz duck cloth. Use the recommended needle and settings, and test a small sample first to adjust tension and stitch length.
How long does FR treatment take if requested?
Custom FR treatment usually adds 14–21 business days depending on yardage and testing requirements. Big Duck Canvas can provide certified documentation upon request. Contact us for a timeline and quote.
