Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, always pre-wash your fabric if you expect the final garment to be washed frequently, as this helps settle the weave. Use sharp, fine-point needles to avoid snagging the delicate fibers during construction. When pinning, consider using silk pins to prevent permanent puncture marks. For maintenance, a cool machine wash on a delicate cycle is recommended; avoid harsh bleaching agents to maintain the vibrant Ivory tone and structural integrity of the fabric.
