High quality fabric great for quilting and clothing! Use this on that special occasion blouse, dress shirt, or heirloom item that is worthy of the extra attention. This is also a great fabric for applique and piecing. The PFD dyes great, as it has not been treated with anything! PFD, Pima cotton, fabric is off-white, so to get it whiter, you need to bleach it. The black discharges to a nice rust with bleach and to a very light tan with Discharge Paste or Color Remover. Remember to use Bleach Stop to stop the action if you do use bleach! For more information on discharging, see our discharging "How To" page!

I have to say I was very disappointed in this fabric. I've sewn on pima cotton for many years and know it as a soft lightweight cotton that does not wrinkle easily and makes wonderful blouses. This fabric was stiff by comparison and wrinkled very easily - almost like inexpensive muslin. Since most of the glowing reviews here are older I have to wonder if Dharma's source for this fabric has changed.

I use the pimtex cotton to make my cloth doll. It is fantastic. I make the doll body and head then I use dye-n-flow to paint it in the flesh color that I like. Debra

Perfect for stretching and gessoing to make a perfectly smooth thin flexible painting canvas. It doesn't "grow" very much at all when stretched drum-tight (less than 12" over 18 inches) - even if you leave it stretched for months before painting. The fine weave allows the creation of a flawless painting surface with only a few coats of gesso and very little sanding.

I've fallen in love with fabric painting and I find Pimatex a wonderful fabric to use. It takes the paint well and the fabric weight is great for art quilts.

This cotton looks almost like that matte finished silk. Very tight strong weave.

I LOVE the black pimatex cotton. Wonderful for draping. It's great quality washes well and is a very black black if you know what I mean. I'll be using up my bolt and coming back for more.

Used pimatex for a class on painting with the Tsukineko (All-purpose) Inks. The results were great. Wish I could attach a picture of the piece I finished.
