Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve professional results, set your sewing machine to a stretch stitch or a narrow zig-zag stitch to allow seams to expand with the fabric. Always use a ballpoint or stretch needle to prevent snagging the fibers.
- Preparation: Pre-wash the fabric at 40 degrees Celsius to account for any initial shrinkage before cutting your pattern.
- Sewing: Use a walking foot if possible to prevent the fabric from stretching or 'tunneling' under the presser foot.
- Care: Machine wash at 40 degrees. Avoid harsh bleaches and tumble drying on high heat to preserve the integrity of the elastane fibers.
