Frequently Asked Questions
Is Viking Purple canvas good for cornhole bags?
Yes! Our 10oz cotton duck is one of the most popular weights for cornhole bags. It’s strong, breathable, and easy to sew. Pair it with heavy-duty thread and double-stitch the seams for durability and consistent play.
Will this fabric hold up outdoors?
Yes, but like all untreated cotton, it’s best suited for occasional outdoor use or covered setups. For extra protection, consider applying a wax finish or a water-repellent treatment to increase weather resistance.
Can I make acoustic panels with Viking Purple canvas?
Absolutely. The breathable plainweave allows sound waves to pass through easily, making it excellent for acoustic panels or sound-absorbing wall art. It’s both functional and visually striking in studios, offices, and home theaters.
What makes this canvas different from heavier weights?
At 10oz, it’s medium-weight—sturdy enough for functional items like bags and panels but still flexible for crafting and décor. Heavier weights (12oz or 15oz) offer more rigidity for industrial or heavy upholstery applications.
Can this fabric be made fire retardant (FR)?
Yes! All Big Duck Canvas colors—including Viking Purple—can be custom FR treated to meet fire-safety standards such as NFPA 701 or CPAI-84. Contact us for quotes and certification options.
Is this canvas good for printing or heat transfers?
Yes. The smooth, tight weave works well for screen printing, stenciling, and heat transfer vinyl (HTV). Always test heat settings to avoid scorching darker tones.
Can I wax or coat this Viking Purple canvas?
Yes! You can easily apply wax for water resistance or a rugged look. Check out our waxed canvas fabrics to see similar textures and finishes.
Will the purple color bleed or crock?
Like most dark, saturated colors, minor crocking is possible at first. We recommend washing separately before use and testing with your lining or trims to prevent transfer.
What’s the GSM of 10oz canvas?
Approximately ~339 g/m². This conversion is helpful if you’re comparing fabrics using metric weights.
What needle and thread should I use?
We recommend a 90/14–100/16 universal or denim needle and polyester or cotton/poly thread. Use a longer stitch length (3.0–3.5mm) for clean, even topstitching.
