Does the fabric come in a single continuous piece?

Will the color fade after washing?
To maintain the vibrancy of the tangerine dye, wash in cold water and avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
How should I prepare this fabric before sewing?
Pre-washing the fabric is highly recommended to pre-shrink the material and ensure your finished project maintains its size.
Troubleshooting
Fabric fraying excessively at cut edges
Use a rotary cutter with a sharp blade or serge the raw edges immediately after cutting to prevent unravelling.
Needle skipping stitches
Ensure you are using a sharp universal needle and that your thread tension is properly balanced for medium-weight cotton.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning your project, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric to account for any natural fiber shrinkage. Wash in cool water with like colors and use a gentle cycle to preserve the vibrancy of the tie-dye pattern. When drying, tumble dry on low or line dry to maintain the integrity of the cotton fibers. For the best sewing results, use a standard 70/10 or 80/12 universal needle, as this will easily pierce the closely woven structure of the broadcloth without leaving large entry marks. Always press your fabric with a medium-heat iron after washing to restore its smooth, professional finish.
