I have not made anything with the fabrics so I don't know how they will sew, but I have heard that. For sure they won't be archival.

Having dealt with trying to get rust stains out of clothing & knowing how it can eat away at fabric, this is a process I can't understand wanting to do on purpose! Having said that, these are the best results I've seen. I've heard that the rusted spots can be difficult to sew through, like bits of metal. Are you finding that with yours?
