At what temperature should I wash this fabric?

Does this fabric shrink?

Troubleshooting

Fabric edges fraying during sewing

Use a serger or a zigzag stitch on the edges immediately after cutting to stabilize the fabric.

Finished item size is slightly smaller than expected

This is likely due to the 3-5% shrinkage rate; always pre-wash and dry the fabric before cutting.

Color transfer during the first wash

Use a color-catcher sheet and ensure you are washing with similar color palettes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure you pre-wash the fabric to account for the expected 3-5% shrinkage. Since this fabric is machine washable, use a setting of 60°C to cleanse the fibers. Always wash with like colors, especially initially, to mitigate the risk of color bleeding from darker dyes. When storing, keep the fabric in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature fading. For best results when cutting, ensure your rotary cutter or fabric shears are sharp to maintain the integrity of the high-thread-count weave.
