Sewing and upholstery tip: use a 90/14 or 100/16 upholstery needle and strong polyester thread, adjusting the needle size to the number of fabric layers. Check the direction of the subtle surface texture before cutting and keep all pattern pieces aligned consistently. Test the stitch length and thread tension on a fabric offcut before sewing.

Cleaning and care: clean spills, stains and dirt as soon as possible using a soft cloth and a mild neutral soap solution, working with gentle circular movements. Avoid vigorous rubbing and test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. The manufacturer has not provided specific machine washing, tumble drying or ironing instructions.

Fire safety information: the manufacturer lists cigarette ignition resistance tests and offers optional flame-retardant back-coating treatments subject to separate validation for each production batch. Fire performance also depends on the foam used. Optional treatment standards must not be assumed to apply to the standard fabric. For UK upholstery applications, confirm compliance with the relevant furniture fire safety requirements for the complete upholstery assembly before use.

Boston Toffee Upholstery Fabric is an excellent choice for creating comfortable, hard-wearing furniture with an elegant, timeless finish.
