Sewing: Use a needle appropriate for woven fabrics. Test the stitch on a fabric scrap to ensure the best results.
Care: Follow the care instructions provided. Usually, delicate cycles or hand washing is recommended. Avoid harsh detergents and direct sunlight when drying to preserve the fabric's quality and color. Iron on a low setting, if needed, and always test on a scrap first.
