China Suppliers Factory Nylon Spandex High Stretch Power Mesh Fabric 110gsm 160cm Wide for Activewear and Sportswear
Any tips for sewing this fabric? First time working with high-stretch mesh and worried about ruining it.
Use a shorter stitch length and stretch sewing thread — regular thread will snap when the fabric pulls. Lay it flat when cutting, don't tug or stretch it out, or your pieces will come out undersized. If it's your first time with this level of stretch, do a quick test sample. Get a feel for it, then run production. Saves you from wasting material.
At 5 yards per kilo, isn't the yield a bit low? Why heavier than other stretch mesh?
It's 110gsm — that's a solid weight. And nylon is naturally heavier than polyester. So one kilo doesn't go as far as a lightweight mesh. But that's not a bad thing — low yield here means the fabric is substantial. You'll feel the weight when you hold it. Garments come out with structure, good drape, and durability. If you're after something lighter to keep costs down, we have other options too. Just ask.
Can this fabric be ironed? Worried about ruining it during garment making.
Yes, but keep the temperature low. Use a cool setting and put a thin cotton cloth between the iron and the fabric — don't let the iron touch it directly. Nylon and spandex don't like high heat, they'll shrink and deform. Low heat with a pressing cloth, and you're fine.
Any special storage requirements? Will it yellow or get brittle over time?
Store it out of direct sunlight, don't let it bake. Nylon and spandex are stable materials. It's been set properly before shipping, so it won't go brittle on its own. If your warehouse is damp, just keep it in the PE bag it came in.
Does it curl at the edges when cutting? Is it a pain to handle?
Barely curls. The setting is solid, so it stays flat on the cutting table. Sewing too — it stays put, doesn't wander around on you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of needle should I use when sewing high-stretch mesh fabric?
Use a ballpoint or stretch needle (size 75/11 or 90/14). These needles are designed to slide between the mesh fibers rather than pierce through them, preventing snags, runs, or holes in the fabric during sewing.
How should I wash garments made from this nylon spandex mesh?
Machine wash on a gentle cold cycle or hand wash in cool water. Avoid hot water and tumble drying on high heat, as both nylon and spandex are sensitive to heat and can lose their elasticity. Air drying flat is recommended to maintain the fabric's shape.
Is this 110gsm mesh suitable for activewear and sportswear production?
Yes, absolutely. The 110gsm weight provides a good balance of structure and breathability, making it well-suited for activewear, dance costumes, athletic tops, leggings, and swimwear overlays. The high stretch recovery ensures garments hold their shape after repeated wear and washing.
Can this fabric be dyed or printed on after purchase?
Nylon mesh can be dyed using acid dyes, but it requires proper temperature control. Sublimation printing is not recommended for nylon as it does not bond well. If you need custom colors or prints, it's best to specify your requirements before production so the fabric can be processed correctly from the start.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for this fabric?
MOQ varies depending on color and specification. Please contact us directly for current MOQ details, pricing tiers, and sample availability. We work with both small batch buyers and large-scale production orders.
Does the fabric have good colorfastness? Will it fade after washing?
Yes, the fabric is processed with colorfast dyeing to meet standard wash and rub fastness requirements. Under normal care conditions — cool washing and avoiding harsh detergents — the color will remain stable through regular use. Avoid bleach, which can degrade both the color and the spandex fibers.
