Precise burlap cuts with laser guided machines


   Burlap gives a nice rustic look to weddings and occasions and is used for a lot of decoration options. Most of the times, we want burlap of the correct size cut as per our requirements and don’t really want the burlap to have fuzzy edges or threads coming out of it. Burlap cloth cut to lengths as required by us is available on a lot of online sites, which give us flexible options for decorating venues.

   Many of the online sites which offer custom burlap cuts, provide us with burlap cut on laser guided precision machines which are designed to provide you with the perfect fabric lengths and to ensure that the sides are even and the fabric is ready to use directly once unpacked.

   The required length of the burlap cloth can be specified on the site online and the fabric is cut to the exact length overnight and the exact cut lengths are ready for dispatch by the next day morning. Once you receive the lengths you simply have to use them as they are readily or stitch them up to the desired purpose, which they have been bought for. I have recently decorated my niece’s wedding venue and I had ordered some burlap lengths to be used as table runners. Once I received the lengths all I had to do was to simply place them on the table, straighten them out, and they looked simply great. No fuzzy edges and size cut to perfection.

   Burlap cut fabric is offered to you like turnkey projects today. The fabric produced is great, it is cut to the precise lengths, as you require with the latest laser cutting equipment and delivered to your doorstep in a jiffy. What else could you ask for?

Summer projects using quilt batting


Quilt batting is essentially used to make quilts of a variety of sizes. That said, quilt batting can be put to serve a lot of different purposes. I have been really impressed by a lot of different summer projects, which have been created using a variety of quilt batting which is available easily in the online market. Not only have I been impressed with the variety of projects which can be made using quilt batting, I have been equally impressed by the availability of quilt batting of different varieties, be it polyester or cotton and the ability of the manufacturer to provide it in specific sizes and shapes.

Summer projects which can be made out of quilt batting can simply be in the form of quilts or quilt backed pillow covers, or also take form of various types of wall hangings and decorative articles which have a backing made out of quilt batting. Your desired quilt batting size is cut by manufacturers using precise laser guided cutting machines and provided to you by the doorstep to shape it into the most suitable form as desired by you.

You have to put a bit of your imagination into motion to get the right use for the quilt batting which is available to you in the market. I have been involved in a lot of summer projects using quilt batting and have also used the batting for conventional quilt weaving, and can tell you for sure that the options and the variety of summer projects which you can make with quilt batting is phenomenal

Oilcloth Printed Vinyl Table Covering


       Oilcloth, which is a dense cotton fabric with vinyl coating , is widely used for a variety of purposes. The material was used as early as the 18th century for various uses such as making tents to making bedrolls and has been predominantly used for tablecloth manufacture in our times. What actually makes oilcloth special and durable is the fabric as well as the thin covering of linseed oil, which gives  a certain kind of waterproofing effect to the fabric.

      The most impressive thing about oilcloth is that it is available in a variety of expressive prints and bold color patterns, which give a varied, look to your kitchen and dining areas. A dining table covered with oilcloth reminds me of times I spent in my grandmother’s kitchen and as a fond memory of the retro period. I have used a variety of tablecloths for dining but the appeal of printed vinyl tabling cloth is simply great.

      The use of oilcloth in the kitchen is made not only as tablecloth material but also for covering shelves. Inexpensive oilcloth is used for lining shelves while patterned oilcloth is also used as printed vinyl tablecloth. Printed oilcloth tablecloth is available on many websites online for reasonable prices and is delivered to your doorstep. It is available in a variety of prints and sizes and is also available by the yard. You can check out some great oilcloth patterns online which are pretty reasonable on the pocket.

        I am a great fan of oilcloth tablecloths. I use the fabric extensively in my kitchen and have recommended it to many for both its beauty and utility. It is up to you to choose the right purpose to put your oilcloth to, be it in the kitchen or be it for decorating a venue or an occasion.

Responding to customer queries regarding Burlap and Rustic Weddings


We are posting a transcript of a client email for burlap fabric for her wedding. The identity of the client has not been disclosed for privacy reasons.


Hi, 
I would like to make my wedding special this summer with a rustic look. The rustic look is a rage these days and I am looking forward to it. I would like you to help me with the right kind of burlap fabric to be used for the décor…. The runners, the chair ties and all of that…hope you get me. Wanted your opinion on the right burlap for my décor…please get back to me.

Customer care response

You have called up the right place for you burlap requirements. So lets get to your queries

You are quite right with the chair ties and the need to choose the right burlap, as it can get quite uncomfortable and itchy if you use the wrong burlap fabric. We generally recommend the 4 or 6-inch burlap strips for the same as they look pretty elegant and remain popular amongst a lot of our clients who choose the same.

As far as burlap runners is concerned, the width of the runner cloth depends on the width of the table and it generally varies between 12-27 inches. You will have to order as per your table specifications.

We also do sell burlap for gardening purposes and most customers use the 7or 10 inch burlap for the same. Those who use burlap for construction purposes, use the 10 inch variety.

I hope I have answered your queries and you are satisfied with our response. You can also look up our customer feedback for the response which our customers have for given for the burlap fabric and the use which they have put burlap fabric to.

Thank you.

The appeal of Fabric backdrops



The simplest way to make a backdrop is to get the backdrop fabric of appropriate size and give it a nice wash before you get to shape it into the color or the texture, which suits your requirement. A well-framed backdrop can indeed change the way the background appears and appeals.

Photography gets better with great backdrops. Some of the fabrics, which are used for backdrops, are relatively inexpensive and are easy to play around by dyeing them or using them creatively to give you the desired look for your photo shoot.

Backdrops are used not only for photography but can also be used for plays, school events and can make events colorful, somber or lively. Depending on your requirements, a variety of fabrics can be used for making backdrops, the most common fabrics being polypropylene, muslin, or polyester cotton fabric mixes. Volume pricing is also very attractive and you can even create bigger backdrops within a budget. Some great online sites offer you variety in terms of size and material at relatively cool price.

I have used a variety of fabrics to make backdrops, but the most impressive backdrops are made of muslin, which can be dyed to give the perfect look. You can also have polypropylene backdrops, which can be printed with pictures, which you want…like a sky backdrop or a skyline to give you a great looking picture in the background for the desired purposes.

So if you are looking for a good backdrop, choose the right material, find the right size and let your imagination go wild.
