Troubleshooting

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

This is normal for a durable twill weave. Tumble drying on a low setting or ironing can help soften it. Subsequent washes will also naturally soften the fabric.

Needle skipping stitches.

Ensure you are using the correct needle size for medium-weight cotton (e.g., an 80/12 or 90/14 universal needle). Check that the needle is new and not bent.

Color fading after multiple washes.

While the color is vibrant, repeated washing at higher temperatures or with harsh detergents can cause fading. Stick to the recommended 40-degree wash and mild detergents.

Warping or stretching during cutting.

Ensure your cutting surface is stable and the fabric is laid flat without tension. Use sharp fabric scissors for clean cuts. Pre-washing can help stabilize the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This fabric arrives ready to use. As it is cut per meter, ensure you order the exact quantity needed for your project. It is recommended to pre-wash the fabric before cutting to account for any potential shrinkage and to soften the material, even though it is pre-shrunk by nature of its weave. Use a standard sewing machine with a universal needle suitable for medium-weight cottons.

Compatibility:

This fabric is compatible with most sewing machines and standard sewing notions. It pairs well with cotton or polyester threads. Consider using interfacing for added structure in collars, cuffs, or waistbands if desired.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius.
  • Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry for best results and longevity.
  • Iron on a medium to high heat setting.
  • Do not bleach.
