Faux Sequin Knit Fabric Shiny Dot Confetti for Sewing Costumes Apparel Crafts by The Yard (1 Yard, Gold on Black)

This fabric delivered all of the bling I was looking for. I ordered the red, silver and blue for a corset and bustle costume piece that I had professionally made to wear in a parade. Our bustles are on each side of this picture.There are some pro's and some con's to this fabric. Read on;Pro:1. Lots of sparkly bling. I wanted something that would catch the light while strutting in the parade. This fabric fit the bill.2. It's lightweight enough that it has a nice flow to it.Con:1. The sequin like dots have a kind of sticky substance to them. When I sewed my gloves,(the accompanying picture) the glue kept sticking to the needle and messing up my stitching. I found it very difficult to work with. I'm not sure what kind of experience the professional had while sewing the corset and bustles but for me, it was very frustrating. I had to stop from time to time and clean off the needle.2. The fabric is a little transparent. To enrich the color, I had the seamstress use a satin of the same color to put behind the confetti dot fabric. In effect, it gave the bustle a little more flounce and I liked the effect.Overall, the effect was excellent. Walmart carried a similar fabric that did not have the stickiness to it, but they did not have all of the colors I needed. Amazon offered all of the colors and so I got what I wanted.I would recommend this product if what you are wanting it for does not require you to use your sewing machine.Otherwise, it's a good bling for your buck!

I am not big into sewing or anything, I just got these to use as backdrops for product photography or videos. The material is quite thin, but with something behind it, it can easily be used for the things I mentioned. I got the gold and silver material. I did notice that they had smudges on them, which seems kind of odd. I know nothing about material so maybe that's expected for this type? Regardless, it worked great for what I used it for. If you need the edges to be super precise this probably isn't your best bet though, as they were a bit jagged. I had no real issues though.

I bought this to make a deterent shirt for my little dog because 2 hawks, and a barn owl tried to eat her in one week. I read that birds get confused by shiny reflective fabric. I hope it works.

Update: I see many purchasers talking about how their machines gunked up and that you should ony sew by hand. If you keep your needle coated with oil (I used mineral that I had on hand), there won't be a problem. Hate to see people not buy this great fabric because of a bad review. By the way, I have since purchased 3 additional colors directly from seller's website.Love this fabric. Ordered 2 other colorsUpdate: Wanted to upload a picture of the outfits I made from this and the gold color I also ordered. The outfits were a hit!

This is great for the price, but know that it's actually pretty stretchy; more in one direction than the other, and that the printed faux sequins are printed in rows that don't align with the weave and wep of the fabric. Finally, the edges of any sewn work will be lumpy because it's pretty tough to get the printed rows of sequins to align with the edge of your project since the grain of the fabric runs as some other angle. So, either your sewn edge is wavy because some sequins are bent in half or because the grain of the fabric runs at an angle to the edge and hangs unevenly. Finally, the fabric on which the sequins are printed is very, very sheer and dimensionally unstable.

I ordered the black fabric. It got here a day earlier than it said it was supposed to here, so that was great. The fabric was cut very poorly, but I received way more than a yard, so I wasn't really worried about the cut. My biggest problem with this fabric was that I was expecting all black fabric and shiny sequins. Instead, it is all black fabric, but the "sequins" are gold glitter dots. Wasn't what I was looking for, but it was able to get the job done. Not bad for the price, though.

Love this beautiful fabric. I used it as a bed runner to add bling to my bedroom. Now my pillows and blanket look so much better.

I used this to make a dance costume. Had an awesome sparkle on stage. It is very thin so not so bad a tank top under it couldn't fix. The back of the material had a non slip surface. Over all I was satisfied and would love use it again.
