Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Minerva gingham fabric, pre-wash the material at 40 degrees before cutting to account for any natural cotton shrinkage. When preparing for your project, ensure your cutting surface is flat and use sharp rotary cutters or shears.
- Thread Compatibility: Use high-quality all-purpose polyester or cotton thread that matches the fuchsia or white tones.
- Stitch Settings: A standard straight stitch with a length of 2.0mm to 2.5mm works best for most seams.
- Care Instructions: Machine wash at 40 degrees; tumble dry on low or hang to dry in the shade to prevent fading of the vibrant fuchsia pigment. Iron on a medium-hot cotton setting while slightly damp for the best results.
