Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before you begin sewing, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric to account for any minor shrinkage typical of 100% cotton materials.
- Cutting: Use sharp rotary cutters or scissors. Because it is a checkered fabric, ensure your grain lines are straight to keep the pattern consistent.
- Needles: A standard universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) is ideal for this fabric weight.
- Care: Wash at 40 degrees Celsius using a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry to preserve fiber integrity. Iron on a cotton setting while slightly damp for the best results.
