Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your project, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric at 40 degrees to account for any initial shrinkage. Use a universal sewing machine needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) for best results, as the weave is tight and smooth. For cutting, ensure your shears are sharp to avoid fraying along the edges. When pressing, use a medium heat setting on your iron to protect the vibrancy of the emerald dye and the integrity of the weave. Store out of direct sunlight to prevent potential color fading over extended periods.
