LARGE FLOORCLOTH

PRE-PRIMED ONE SIDE ONLY on ITEMS BELOW

The question we get all the time is

Question; "Do you have large floorcloth canvas primed on both sides?"

Answer:   The manufacturer Fredrix only makes this on its smaller floorcloth to add weight, it is not necessary on LARGE floorcloths.

Very heavy primed cotton duck, 12oz, #10.  Great for large works and murals.    All our primed canvas is shipped rolled, ready for paint.  

Longer lengths available by special order, please inquire for pricing and shipping availably.

Items that are listed as TRUCK will be shipped on a  big truck like Roadway,  R & L, etc.  and will come to you freight collect.  This means you pay for the shipping charges  when your shipment arrives.  You will be called by the freight company before delivery on the phone number you provide. Average residential costs range about $100. to $175. depending on weight and delivery zone.  A commercial delivery address generally saves about $30.

Floorcloth Hemming Instructions

Although the instructions below are designed for 2 inch wide HemSet we have found the 1" HemSet is much easier to use, offers the same results and give you beautiful finished floorcloth with less canvas waste.  We no longer sell the 2" HemSet for this reason.

Please ask for Narda's Beginner Basics, FREE when ordering Floorcloth Canvas or $20 without a FC purchase   This will explain the 10 steps to making a perfect floorcloth.

1. To create a 2" wide hem, lay the preprimed canvas, painted side up, on a smooth, clean surface. Measure 2 inches (5 cm) in from the edge and lay a straightedge along these marks. Pencil a line along the side of the straight edge, letting your line extend into the hem allowance.
2. On each end of this line, measure 2 inches (2 cm) in from the outside edge and make a mark. Take the right angle and set it on the mark with a 2-inch (5 cm) hem allowance along the outside edge. Lay the straightedge over the right angle to create a perpendicular line. Pencil this line along the side of the straightedge, letting your line extend into the hem allowance to the top. Turn your canvas and mark a 2" hem on the last side using the right angle to square the corners.
3. Your canvas should now have a penciled shape that is either square or rectangular, with a 2-inch (5 cm) border showing all the way around. On each corner you should have two lines that intersect each other. If any of your corners do not appear square, or if your measurements do not match, now is the time to adjust them. Simply pick the straightest side, re-measure, and recheck the corners to make sure they are at right angles.
4. After you've checked your measurements, go back to each corner with a right angle and pencil. Lay the right angle across each intersection and mark a line, only on the short hem. When trimmed, this will create something like an envelope flap on the short ends.
5. Trim along the line of the flap and along the corner. Your hem should have two long sides with a straight 2-inch (5 cm) border that ends flush on the corner. There should be two shorter sides (if it's a rectangle shape) that have an angled 2-inch (5 cm) hem that looks like a wide envelope flap.
6. Lay the straightedge on the canvas along the pencil line that creates the hem. Fold the canvas over the straightedge to crease the hem. When you have done this on all four sides, flip the canvas to the underside, primed side down, and pre-crease it in the opposite direction, again using the straightedge. You should have a folded edge along your pencil line that makes the hem easy to see.
7. Lay a strip of HemSet  tape along the inside (the unprimed side) of one of the long hem lines. Trim any excess tape off the end. Be careful not to pull or stretch the tape when applying Peel back the protective coating on the tape.
8. Fold the long hem to the underside of the canvas. Use your hand or the roll of tape to rub up and down along the hem to remove any air bubbles. You now have a hem! Repeat this process on the other long hem.
9. Run the tape along one of the angled ends. Trim the excess tape off the angled end. Fold this hem the way you did in steps 1 and 2; let the hem overlap the two long sides on each corner. You should have nice crisp corners. Repeat this process on the other angled end.
