Is this fabric durable for sewing for curtains ? Can this fabric tolerate other laces sewed on it? How can I store this fabric?

I love the fabric it's beautiful and great quality. It is thin but good quality

It won't be the prettiest closure seams if you do, but you would be able to sew it. If a home sewing machine can't handle it, take it to somewhere that does alterations or an upholstery shop. Their industrial machines should have no issue with it and they can probably put a nice finished edge on it too.

The case has French seams at the sides and end of case is turned over so I can't see the ends of the sewing thread. I have silk thread for quilting and that thread is smaller than the thread used in the case. I'm rough on the case and see some tiny pulling and separation of the fabric, but no breakage yet. I'm GUESSING the sewing thread is silk but don't know for sure. Silk thread is quite expensive so its possible it might be cotton. At the price point of this case, I am still getting my money's worth.

Mine has torn from being pulled. But the fabric is still pretty thick and tough. I'm going to buy another one for another piece of furniture. You can't beat the price on this. I would say that it will stand up to your weather, just be gentle pulling it back over the furniture.

I've used it to hem a faux leather skirt for a Xena Warrior Princess Halloween costume and it worked fine. Also, used it to glue rickrack and plastic gemstones and sequins to the leather. The issue will be if there is an exposed edge of the seat that will tend to peel back with abrasion and/or sheer stresses over time. The glue works on vinyl faux leather.

Donna, I have trimmed this fabric and it does not fray. Just to be sure, you should consider folding over the cut area or using an anti frayliquid available at a fabric/sewing store.

Yeah, you can! I've made a couple of vests from the stuff I got, it holds up well to sewing. At one point I tried fastening eyelets through it, though, and that doesn't work too well unless you punch it really securely. The fabric likes to loosen up around those parts and the eyelets ended up falling out. Still, though, I like it a lot.

I am fairly sure this is the sewing thread my father used to sew leather material for car seats, and he had no issues with it. It's strong thread.

i think it will hold up just fine but lace got dirty pretty quickly and i was careful.

No. It is quite sturdy. If you leave it outside year 'round, especially in the sun it will fade. The yellow fabric on the wire is poor quality an eventually tears but is easily repaired/reinforced with zip(cable) ties. Only after several years of constant outdoor abuse will the mesh tear. I have a "cat maze" set up 24/7 outside. I discarded a few old sections this spring due to weathering. One caution, however. Big dogs CAN tear the mesh if they have access and intend to get to the cats! ( FYI I have purchased two mazes and about 30 fun runs over time. I still have both mazes outdoors as well as most of the fun runs. Connected together you get a cat "habitrail".) No. It is quite sturdy.

That will be dependent on your needle, as far as the machine itself, the best investment we have made with amazon, we sew clothing, canvas bags, sheets and drapes, and just about anything friends of ours can tear, will handle everything from silks to denim no problem, if you want to stich leather get the right needle, watch your speed and go

Absolutely. It's just like a regular lace curtain. Just remember how these hang. The curtains have the holes/slits. These are really lovely.

I haven't used it on curtains, but it has worked well on various clothing fabrics for me, heavy and delicate. Depending on your curtain fabric, I'd say definitely usable! If you have a heavier curtain fabric you could always use the upholstery attachment.

The sides are finished and should not fray unless cut. It was very easy to use staplegun to fasten to wood. If you need to add grommets to allow fastening to other material, fabric seems like it would work well. If you did choose to hem, it would be easy to sew any size hem (even very small) if you wanted to reinforce. But with uniform stretching and stapling, it should work well for your purpose. I had material up in AZ sun for 6 months and it is still like brand new.

Although it is a thick fabric, I am not sure if it would withstand that type of specific use. I almost think it would rip apart after several uses like that.

I do not think this would work for you. I used it as a pattern overlay and it suited that purpose . It is durable but I think it would be very hard to work with...and it is probably not acid-free, which is recommended for fabric storage. I hope this helps.

It's made of lace, but it's not expensive lace of course. The material is lace-like, a little bit rough to the touch. It's completely see-through and can not be used as shower liner, you need to buy a seperate shower liner, since this curtain is just for decoration. I've had it for about 8 months, still looks good.
