The outside has almost a crepe like texture while the inside is smooth. I have made a couple of capris out of this and I want more. Just don't know what it is called! Anyone know of any services like that? ------ Brother ULT 2002D, Janome 6500P, Babylock Eclipse SX, Juki MO654DE, Janome Coverpro 1000CPX, Singer 15-91

Date: 7/12/12 11:56 PM They'd do a burn test, which you can easily do yourself. I'm having a glitch with my iPad copy and paste, but google "identifying fibers and fabrics"! It's a PDF with how-to and a burn chart. On second reading, you're looking for the weave, not the fiber? if you determine the fiber, ie polyester, then you know it's a smooth-back poly crepe double knit. Email Mood Fabrics, Sawyer Brook, Gorgeous Fabrics and Marcy Tilton and ask if you can send a swatch for ID; they all carry a very good collection of bottom-weights so would be likely to know what it is. Hope you find lots more, whatever it is! -- Edited on 7/13/12 0:01 AM -- ------ I heart Panzy, Pfaff Creative Performance, the sewing machine love of my life!
