The fabric weight is medium, approximately 230 gsm (grams per square meter).

Gently steam the fabric on the reverse side or use a low heat setting on your iron. Avoid direct high heat.

Use a lint roller or a soft-bristled brush to gently remove lint. Fabric may attract lint due to its nature.

Ensure you are using a ballpoint or stretch needle and a suitable stitch length (e.g., a slight zigzag stitch or a straight stretch stitch). Maintain consistent, gentle tension on the fabric as you feed it through the machine.

While unlikely with modern processing, always wash dark or vibrant colors separately on the first wash as a precaution.
