Monitor settings can vary. The fabric is a true mint green. For critical projects, consider ordering a small swatch first if color is paramount.
Preparation
Before cutting, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric in a cool wash to prevent any potential shrinkage after your project is completed. Iron on a medium-high heat setting.
