While it is beautiful, viscose challis can be slippery. Beginners should take their time with pinning and consider using spray starch for stability.
It certifies that every component of the fabric has been tested for harmful substances and is harmless to human health.
It is highly recommended to air dry this fabric. Tumble drying can cause unnecessary shrinkage and damage the delicate viscose fibers.
No, this is a woven viscose challis and does not contain spandex or elastic fibers, so it will not have mechanical stretch.
Use a lightweight, fusible knit or woven interfacing suitable for delicate fabrics to ensure it does not change the drape of the garment.
Use a rotary cutter on a self-healing mat and weigh down pattern pieces rather than pinning to avoid distortion.
Ensure you are using a new, sharp needle and adjust your stitch length to 2.0-2.5mm for better seam security.
Always pre-wash and dry the fabric in the same manner you intend to wash the finished garment to account for fiber contraction.
Before starting your project, it is essential to pre-wash the fabric as viscose can shrink slightly during the first cycle. Wash on a gentle, cold cycle and hang to dry; avoid tumble drying to preserve the integrity of the fibers.
When cutting, use pattern weights rather than pins to avoid marking the delicate surface. Due to the tendency of viscose to shift, consider using a spray starch or stabilizing the grainline to ensure accuracy. When ironing, always use a low-heat setting and a pressing cloth to prevent the surface from becoming shiny or damaged.
