Tips for sewing canvas fabrics for decorating

If this is the first time you work with canvas fabrics, keep in mind these tips to achieve a professional finish:

  • Use suitable needles: ideally, use 90/100 needles for thick fabrics.
  • Choose resistant thread for frequently used projects, such as cushions or covers.
  • Press the seams open to reduce volume and achieve a cleaner finish.
  • Reinforce tension areas (corners, zippers) with double seams.
  • And the last decorative tip: before sewing, place the fabrics in the space where they will be; this way, you can see how they go with the light, furniture and other textiles. This will help you make the right choice.
