Sewing and upholstery tip: when working with this 535 gsm fabric, it is recommended to start with a universal needle or thick needle (90/14 or 100/16), durable polyester thread and a medium stitch length, having first carried out a test on a remnant of fabric. When upholstering, it is advisable to check the thickness of the layers and the machine’s feed capacity. For cushions, it is recommended to finish the edges with overcasting or overlocking and to maintain the same texture direction across all pieces.

Decorating tip: the denim shade is perfect for adding depth and elegance to spaces without resorting to black.

It can be used as a focal point on a sofa or armchair and combined with cushions in shades of unbleached, camel or mustard to achieve a warm contrast. Paired with light-coloured woods, it lends a natural and contemporary feel, whilst with black metal it creates industrial-inspired settings. If used to make up curtains, it is advisable to consider the hanging system and the type of pleat depending on the weight of the fabric.

Care: wash at a maximum temperature of 40 °C, do not bleach, do not tumble dry and iron on a soft heat setting. The manufacturer also recommends dry cleaning with perchloroethylene. Always follow the fabric’s care instructions and the specific instructions for the upholstered furniture.

The 140 cm Missori Tejano upholstery fabric is an excellent choice for those looking for a plain, soft and durable fabric, with 50,000 Martindale cycles, ideal for creating sofas, armchairs, cushions and curtains with an elegant, contemporary and durable finish.
