What is Voile Fabric?
Voile is a sheer, lightweight fabric that is very fine. It can be made from a variety of different fibers, both natural or man-made, which are high-twist and woven in plain weave. Voile is french for veil, and this fabric gets that name as it was originally used as a veiling fabric. The yarns in voile fabric are known as "voile yarns" as they have been twisted together more than in normal yarns (but not quite as much as in crepe yarns) to create a rounded single yarn. Sometimes these are twisted together with another single yarn, in the same direction, to create a two-fold voile yarn. Due to it's soft sheer nature, voile is commonly used in bridal wear but is also ideal for crafting, creating linings, scarves, and clothing and dressmaking too, as well as home interior items.
How we Make Printed Voile Fabric
All your custom made printed fabric orders are printed digitally. We use different methods for this based on the type of textile that is being used. These methods include pigment printing, which prints onto a localized part of the fabric with colored dyes, building up your personalized design. Another method we use is dye sublimation. This is a two step process in which we first print your design onto a transfer paper, and that is then bonded using heat to the fabric itself. Both of these methods create a full color print.
Made to Measure Voile Finishing
You have different finishing options for your printed voile fabric. We can send it to you as it comes off the printer, with an undyed border around the edges, or we can cut your personalized design on the line, removing all of the white space. You may prefer to have one of our expert seamstresses hem your printed voile fabric. If so, then you can choose either black or white thread, and either an overlock or folded hem. If you choose to have your voile printing hemmed, please ensure to allow 6-8 mm on each side for fabrics up to 2.95oz, and 0.59" - 0.78" for other fabrics.
