How does this compare to 1000Denier Cordura brand fabric? Thanks

You need to be more specific on what you're looking for when you ask how does this compare. The simple answer is it does not compare. This is approximately 600 denier polyester canvas, Cordura is nylon canvas, a much stronger material. Cordura is better is every aspect but price, but you do get what you pay for. I would not use this for motorcycle clothing, though as a reinforcing for jeans as someone replied, maybe, I'm guilty of taking short rides with just jeans, T-shirt and Oakleys so a little extra protection is better than nothing, though i do have a Cordura jacket. I'm off topic now, motorcycles do that to me. Anyways, I don't know what you plan to do with this material, if you need Cordura, get Cordura, rhino canvas is for canopies, bags, outdoor furniture, but if you need something really strong and abrasion resistant that is Cordura.

I cannot answer that. I did not realize there was a discrepancy with the fabric. My objective and need was more of the following: The Household Essentials Hanging Hampers Color, size, the fact it hangs and how it hangs were exactly what I envisioned before the laundry room renovation started. The fabric was not critical for me. I am very happy with The Household Essentials Hanging Hampers . They fit my very narrow laundry room perfectly. The bags also allow me to sort large loads. They are hanging on shiny chrome hooks. The hooks are on wood panels on the concrete wall. I am very pleased with the laundry room renovation; especially The Household Essentials Hanging Hampers.

Mine is 20 months old. It is the thick'ribbed, chenille corduroy fabric and very soft and plush. Very comfortable. I'll see if I can get close up pics with a ruler for reference. It does not sound as though we have the same chair.

Sorry, only have tried the Cocoon Silk. I really like the Cocoon Silk. Nice feel & does increase the warmth.Djwine 12

I'd recommend a minimum of 12 - if you do Landry everyday. I have the Thirsties prefolds as well and absolutely love them. I'm still using the small size on my petite 18 month old. I had 1 of each and just liked them so much better than these. Better investment and useful longer, as well as more versatile. But maybe get a few of each and see which you like best. You can always add more of what you like to your stash and with a newborn, you almost can't have too many inserts. Definitely hemp is the way to go. Much more absorbent than other fabrics and most are blended with cotton so there is no need to top it for improved absorption.

I agree with Betty, quality is better than orginal. Sorry I also am not familiar with that brand.

Hi Curious,Richard is correct, ECO-FUSED is our registered brand name. The only difference in the cloths is the color.Regards,Tom / ECO-FUSED

It says that Sunbrella fabric resists UV, fading, staining and mildew, whereas I'm guessing the cotton one doesn't since it's 100% cotton. I have the colorful cotton one and it is so soft and comfy, but I keep it mostly indoors.

I find it absorbent and not really rough. I think this one is better than Marcal, but obviously, TP is personal preference! :)

you must buy barbs labeled for 'fine fabric'. I found them quite reasonably from take2distributing.com. Good luck!

Hi there. While I can't compare them, I have had my Curvey for most two years now and love it! I have sewn many quilts with mine!

I've used it on fake suede fabric and home decor fabrics. It sews through seams of these fabrics well. As far as leather or heavy Cordura, I am a bit skeptical if it would be used often. It is a far better machine than the past machines I have had but still not a professional machine. Hope that helps.

The closest fabric I can come to using to compare would be microfiber. I am not sure what fabric it is but it does not feel like vinyl. It does "poof" a little when you sit down on it, but I believe that is because of it's waterproof properties.

I think the cheaper one is smooth fleece and the higher one is ribbed fleece. I have the ribbed. It's very plush and warm. Hardly need to turn on the heat. The heat is very subtle no hot spots.

I am sorry I can't offer you a comparison. I went for the 9280 because I iron a large variety of fabrics, and I sew as well. I have owned the iron for less than a month, but I have ironed linen, polyester chiffon, 100% cotton (both knit and woven), girl scout patches, and cotton poly blends. No leaking, no scorching. This is a big, heavy iron that ejects lots of steam, so be prepared. It glides smoothly and effortlessly. I have experienced no scorching or yucky marks transferring to the soleplate after almost a month of daily use.

also, I would recommend checking on Graco's site for patterns... then you can also see which type of other gear come in your pattern. I would recommend a more neutral pattern out of budget concerns (I don't really have the $$ to buy alot of pink gear the first time and then new gear for a baby boy 2 years later).. even though Ionic is blue, it is a light blue that I personally would consider neutral. ALSO NOTE that Graco (and other manufacturer's) patterns with large panels metallic or shiny fabrics don't seem to breathe quite as well, an important point if you have decently warm summers... also, I would recommend checking on Graco's site for patterns... then you can also see which type of other gear come in your pattern.
