Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin your project, ensure you have a standard sewing machine capable of basic straight stitching and a serger or zigzag stitch for seam finishing. Before cutting your fabric, it is recommended to press your pattern pieces flat and check your measurements against the provided sizing chart to ensure the correct size selection. Always pre-wash your chosen fabric to account for any shrinkage before sewing. Post-construction, follow care instructions specific to your chosen fabric—most Rumi Tops will require cold-water washing and low-heat drying to maintain their shape and integrity over time.
