Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before sewing, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric to account for any minor shrinkage common with natural cotton fibers. When preparing your workspace, ensure you use a denim or heavy-duty sewing machine needle (size 100/16 or higher) to avoid skipped stitches or needle breakage. Because the fabric is robust, use high-quality polyester or heavy-duty thread for seams to ensure the strength of the thread matches the strength of the fabric. For care, wash in cool water on a gentle cycle and hang dry to maintain the integrity of the canvas structure.
