Cotton poplin · Quilting cotton · Lightweight twill · Stable cotton broadcloth
110–180 gsm (3.2–5.3 oz/yd²)
crisp
Noble is a woven block with princess seams instead of darts, so pick a crisp stable woven that presses cleanly around the curved seams for an accurate fitting toile.
Avoid: knits, stretch wovens, slippery satins
③ Place a motif
Preview where a chest print, pocket or embroidery will sit before you cut — then print it as a placement guide.
④ Print & cut
