What properties does polyester have?
Physical or chemical properties? I'm going to give you both. :) Physical Properties: 1. Polyester's weight is 1.22-1.38 g/cm3. 2. Able to hold forms well. 3. Easy and quick to dry. 4. Very resistant to stretching, shrinking, and creasing. 5. Also resistant to the sun. Chemical Properties: 1. When burned, polyester gives off a strong odor. 2. The molten residue from burned polyester can cause harmful burns to human skin. 3. Melting point of polyester is 249-288° C.
What the All Blacks jersey are made of?
The jersey of today is made of polyester. In a game situation is twofold: firstly, polyester is harder to get hold of in a tackle situation, as it is inherently more 'slippy' than cotton or a cotton-blend. In addition, the increasing use of skin tight shirts further enhances this effect, as there is no loose material for a tackler to get a grip of.
What fabrics are used for art aprons?
There are a number of fabrics you can use to make a hairstylist apron. You may want to use a sturdy cotton, or cotton/polyester blend, if you're going to make pockets for hairstylist tools. The fabric needs to be strong enough to hold those tools without tearing or ripping. However, if you want the hair to easily wipe off of your apron, you'll want to use something slick, such as a nylon fabric, to make a hairstylist apron. This isn't as sturdy, but if you're not going to make one with pockets to hold heavy tools, it's a better fabric.

For baby cothes, you want to use anything soft and stretchy and, if possible, flame resistant. I would suggest cotton knits with or without a bit of polyester to help hold the shape.

You will need: 100% cotton fabric for the front of the pot holder 100% cotton batting for the inside layer(s) Silver reflective heat resistant fabric for the back (Insul-brite is one brand) 100% cotton single or double fold bias binding for the edge and hanger (several sizes and styles are available ready-made, OR make your own) 100% cotton thread for the quilting and construction Synthetic fabrics will melt and cause burns! Since it takes just a little bit of fabric, scraps can be used. To check for synthetics, cut a very small (1 inch) square of the fabric in question, hold it with tweezers and flame the edge. Let it cool a few seconds and rub the edge between your fingers. If the edge is hard, there is a synthetic in the fabric. 100% cotton turns to soft ashes. Hope this helps!

You can use crayons on just about any kind of fabric. For some of the synthetics, you would find it easier to use a frame, or hoop to hold it tight. The best fabric is heavier cotton, denim, or canvas. If you are working with a special project, you should purchase the Fabric Crayons, which are specially formulated to write on fabric.
