Beginner fabrics are typically stable, forgiving, and easy to handle. They press well, don’t fray easily, and sew smoothly without much shifting or stretching. They are generally opaque and have a tight weave, making them easy to cut and sew accurately. No special tools are needed with beginner fabrics.
