Check your tension settings and ensure you are using a sharp, standard-weight needle.
Before starting your project, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric to account for any initial shrinkage. Use a universal sewing machine needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) for best results. When cutting, ensure that the 1/8-inch check lines are aligned perfectly with your pattern pieces to maintain a professional look. For care, wash in cool to lukewarm water with like colors. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry to preserve the vibrant yellow color and integrity of the weave. Press using a medium-hot iron with steam to achieve that signature crisp gingham finish.
