Use pattern weights instead of pins to keep the fabric flat and prevent distortion.

Increase your seam allowance slightly or use a serger/overlock stitch to securely seal the edges.
Before sewing, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric according to standard machine wash settings to account for any potential sizing removal. When cutting, ensure you have a sharp, fine-point needle to prevent snags in the delicate crepe weave. For pressing, use a low to medium heat setting on your iron to avoid melting the synthetic fibers. Due to the nature of the material, it is advisable to finish raw edges with a serger or a zigzag stitch to prevent fraying.
