@JohnSnug some upholstery fabrics can be heavy/thick so not ideal for softer curtains and cushions. The FR treatments on some of them can trigger skin irritation and breathing problems in those with allergies or sensitive skin, especially if you're working with them for a long time on a big project.
There are more interiors fabrics available now that are supplied as cool wash, look for that before purchasing if it's important. But, remember if you're making interlined or handmade curtains they will never be washable, and that linings (and other materials involved) may behave differently to the face fabric (even if all are listed as washable!)
