Thread-topic: Baumann unilargo II polyester fabric

About 3 years ago we performed duplicate Oddy tests on Creation Baumann Unilargo #17. Both samples passed without any problem. We haven’t tested other Unilargo colors, though.

I am wondering if anyone is currently using the baumann polyester fabric for mounts or underlay consolidation supports? I am thinking of using this instead of a cotton fabric similar in weight and feel which is often out of stock.
