  • Durable enough for repeated washing at high temperatures
  • Available in continuous lengths for larger designs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric before starting your project to account for the noted 3-4% shrinkage. Use a gentle detergent and avoid harsh bleaches to preserve the integrity of the Light Blue pigment. When ironing, set your iron to the cotton setting and use steam if necessary to smooth out any wrinkles after drying. The fabric is highly compatible with standard sewing machine needles, specifically universal or sharp point needles, depending on the weight of your thread and the density of your stitches.
