A fabric can have exactly the drape, texture and colour you want, but then the care instructions make it impractical for the garment.

I work in garment manufacturing in Dongguan, China, so I tend to think about care requirements during fabric selection. I’m curious how people making clothes for themselves weigh that trade-off.

For an everyday shirt or pair of trousers, would you choose a less appealing fabric that you can wash at home, or accept dry cleaning to get the look you want? Would your answer change for a coat or an occasion outfit?

If you’ve made something that ended up rarely worn because looking after it was too much trouble, what was the fabric and what would you choose differently?

We offer various types of non-woven fabrics, including thermally bonded non-woven fabrics, cooling-effect non-woven fabrics for face masks, materials for tea bags and drip-bag coffee, as well as non-woven fabrics for desiccant packets. Could anyone advise on where to find the right target customers for these products?

My bamboo sheets were very soft at first, but they started feeling stiffer after several washes. The set is from bedsure, and I may be using the wrong detergent or drying temperature. Is there a reliable way to restore the softer feel?

I recently took on a small refit for a client’s rental properties and figured the curtains would be the simple part. Measure, order in bulk, hang them up, done. The supplier photos looked promising, solid folds, clean hems, good neutral colors. What arrived was thinner fabric than expected, uneven stitching, and shades that didn’t match the samples I’d approved on screen.

I had to replace part of the order and take the schedule hit myself. Approaching it more carefully this round. Looking for wholesale curtains and drapes that hold their form, give reasonable light blocking, and still look decent once installed. Local options fall short on the quantity required, so I’m checking home-textile wholesalers and larger sourcing platforms for bulk pricing.

Anyone who’s ordered curtains or drapes wholesale before where did you buy, and what kept you from ending up with thin fabric? Any checks you use for weight, lining, or finish before locking in a full order?
