FAQs

Is this fabric suitable for beginners?

While the fabric is beautiful, it can be slippery. Beginners may find it easier to manage by using starch or keeping the fabric pinned securely while sewing.

Can I tumble dry this fabric?

It is recommended to air dry the fabric to maintain the quality and longevity of the Tencel fibers. Avoid high heat tumble drying.

What is the weight of the fabric?

The fabric has a weight of 140 gsm, making it a lightweight material with excellent drape.

Does the fabric come in one piece if I order multiple metres?

Yes, all orders are cut as one continuous piece to ensure you have enough fabric for your projects.

Is the fabric opaque?

Due to its lightweight nature, it is semi-opaque. Depending on the garment, you may want to line it or wear a slip.

Troubleshooting

Fabric edges fraying during handling

Use a serger or a zigzag stitch immediately after cutting to finish the raw edges and prevent excessive fraying.

Difficulty keeping the fabric straight while sewing

Use plenty of pins or sewing clips and a walking foot on your machine to help feed the fabric evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Meet MILK fabric stays in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Pre-washing: Always wash the fabric before cutting to account for any initial shrinkage. Use a 30-degree cycle to preserve the fiber integrity.
  2. Cutting: Due to the fluid nature of Tencel, use sharp shears or a rotary cutter on a stable mat to prevent the fabric from shifting.
  3. Ironing: Use a medium-low heat setting with steam to press seams flat. Test on a scrap piece first if unsure of the specific heat threshold.
  4. Compatibility: This fabric pairs well with lightweight fusible interfacing if you need to stabilize collars or button bands on blouses.
