Troubleshooting

Needle breakage or skipped stitches

Fabric fraying excessively

Finish all raw edges using a serger or a zigzag stitch immediately after cutting your pattern pieces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality organic construction
  • Excellent durability for everyday garments
  • Standardized sustainability certifications
  • Wide width accommodates efficient pattern layout

Cons

  • Heavy weight requires careful needle selection
  • Limited color availability
  • May require pre-washing to account for potential shrinkage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric to account for any natural fiber shrinkage. Wash at a temperature appropriate for cotton (usually 30-40 degrees Celsius) and allow it to air dry or tumble dry on a low setting. When cutting, treat this as a medium-weight woven; it is stable and easy to handle, but always ensure your shears are sharp to maintain clean edges. For pressing, use a medium-to-high heat setting with steam to sharpen your seams as you construct your garment.
