Chenille-It FAQ: Does It Hold Up? (Spoiler Alert: YES!)

Your Chenille-It Projects Just Keep Getting Better

We hear this question all the time: "Does Chenille-It hold up to multiple washes?" The answer? A resounding YES! In fact, it just gets softer, fluffier, and even more beautiful with every wash.
 
This jacket is a perfect example. It’s one of the first things I made after inventing Chenille-It. I’ve been wearing it to trade shows and international quilt markets since the 1990s, and I still get compliments every time I put it on.

The key to long-lasting results? Secure your Chenille-It with a stitch length of 1.5–2.0. This small adjustment ensures your embellishments stay put through every wash, wear, and tumble dry.
 
This Cherish Jacket is the perfect example of how Chenille-It adds texture, warmth, and personality that stands the test of time—and laundry day.
 
Whether you’re working on a quilt, a jacket, or a home décor project, Chenille-It delivers durability and style that lasts.
