Before starting your project, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric at 40 degrees to account for any natural fiber shrinkage. Ensure you use a universal sewing needle, ideally size 70/10 or 80/12, to prevent snagging the weave. Because this fabric is sold by the metre, it is provided in a single continuous piece, so plan your layout accordingly. For the best longevity, wash with like colors and avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can degrade the fabric's soft finish over time.
