Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these professional handling tips:
- Pre-washing: Always pre-wash the fabric at 30 degrees Celsius. Because it is a natural fiber blend, pre-washing helps manage potential shrinkage before you begin cutting your pattern.
- Sewing Setup: Use a ballpoint or stretch needle to prevent skipped stitches. Because the fabric is heavy, ensure your machine tension is set correctly for thicker knit layers; a walking foot can help maintain even feeding through the machine.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant cobalt blue from fading over time.
- Continuous Yardage: When ordering, keep in mind that multiple metres will be supplied as one continuous piece, simplifying pattern layout for larger garments.
