- Thread count: A higher thread count usually indicates a higher quality fabric. For cotton fabric, look for a thread count of 200 or higher.
- Transparency: Hold the fabric against light to see if it appears fully transparent. If it does, it may not be woven or knitted densely and could lose its shape and wear out easily.
- Thread uniformity: Check that the threads are even and don’t show any gaps.
- Label: The label can provide information about the fabric’s fiber content, weight, weave, and care instructions.
- Texture: Feel the texture of the fabric.
- Appearance: Examine the appearance of the fabric.
- Price: Compare the price of the fabric.
