Frequently Asked Questions
Is Pure White canvas see-through for curtains or draperies?
Not typically. This 10oz cotton duck provides excellent coverage and light diffusion, though for full blackout results, pair it with a lining fabric. Its natural drape makes it ideal for structured panels and roman shades.
Is this canvas good for slipcovers?
Yes! It’s one of the most popular fabrics for slipcovers. The 10oz weight balances durability with flexibility, making it easy to fit, sew, and wash while holding its shape beautifully over time.
How should I pre-wash Pure White canvas for slipcovers?
Pre-wash in warm water with mild detergent and tumble dry on medium to preshrink and soften the fabric before cutting. This ensures a proper fit after sewing.
Does Pure White stain easily? How can I protect it?
Like most white fabrics, it’s best to treat spills promptly. You can apply a fabric protector or Scotchgard™ spray for additional stain resistance. Avoid chlorine bleach to maintain the optical whiteness.
Will this fabric wrinkle after washing?
Slightly—but it presses easily with a warm iron or steamer. Many slipcover makers embrace the soft, natural wrinkles for a relaxed, lived-in aesthetic.
Can I line Pure White canvas for curtains?
Yes. It pairs beautifully with cotton, muslin, or blackout lining. Lining enhances fullness, UV protection, and privacy while maintaining a crisp drape.
Is this fabric heavy enough for upholstery?
For light upholstery—yes. It’s perfect for dining chairs, ottomans, and accent seating. For high-traffic furniture, consider layering with batting or selecting a heavier (#12 or #10) canvas.
Can I dye or paint this Pure White fabric?
Absolutely. Its bright white tone provides a clean base for custom dyes, screen printing, or fabric paints. Always prewash before applying color treatments for best results.
Will the fabric yellow over time?
When properly cared for, no. Store away from direct sunlight and use non-chlorine detergents to maintain brightness. Optical whiteners in the finish help resist discoloration.
Is it machine washable after sewing slipcovers or curtains?
Yes. Machine wash in cool or warm water, tumble dry low, and press as needed. Many customers appreciate how Pure White softens beautifully with repeated laundering.
