Sold as a pre-cut 50 cm x 155cm or 50cm x 75cm length.  Not available as a continuous piece.  Vacuum packed flat for delivery.
 
Lutradur is a non woven polyester material. At first glance, it looks like dressmakers interfacing (Vilene) but its unique spun woven structure makes it see through in nature. It comes in a variety of different weights; the lighter the material, the easier it is to see through it.
 
It doesn’t fray, has a slight sheen, is see through (some thicknesses), can be combined with all other types of material, can be painted, dyed, distressed with a soldering iron or heat gun, glued, stitched, embroidered. There is no end of uses!
 
The heavier weights of Lutradur can be run through an ink printer without backing paper. However, some ink is inevitably lost due to the structure of the product. Lighter weights should be attached to freezer paper but the ink loss will be greater. Transfer dyeing process lends itself to printing so very suitable for Lutradur.
 
Disperse dyes are suitable for dyeing Lutradur. These dyes are painted onto paper and then transferred by ironing the dye onto the material. They are also available in crayon form.
 
If it works on cloth, it will work on Lutradur! However, if you use thick paint, you will lose the see through nature of the cloth. Better to work with washes of paint. The same idea with Pens.
 
It is possible to use both a heat gun and soldering iron for distressed effects; it tolerates the heat of a hot iron in the transfer dyeing process, but if you leave the iron on the material too long, you can also produce a distressed effect.
 
This heavy weight CS800 will take a lot of stitching. Both machine and hand stitching work well.
