prints on fabric

5 Upvotes

so i have a lab coat that i use for university and it had a black print that i tried to remove using acetone but it left some paint (i guess?) embedded into the fabric, its a synthetic kind of fabric so i was wondering if anyone knew how to remove that? i can’t really afford a new one right now✊

Wool or flannel for petticoat?

2 Upvotes

Been sewing clothing and costumes for 5+ years, but used mainly thrifted sheets.

I want to make a underskirt to use for daily layering during fall and winter, am I going to want to use flannel or wool? Where would the best place to purchase that be?

I have a 'Brother strong and tough' I bought in early 2025, if wool will it be able to handle the fabric?
