Yes, it is very manageable, though its fluid nature means it can be slippery; using extra pins is recommended.
Depending on the pattern and your preference for opacity, you may want to add a light lining for skirts or dresses.
Always purchase enough fabric for your entire project at one time to ensure all pieces are cut from the same dye batch.
It is best to line dry, but if necessary, use a very low, delicate tumble dry setting.
It is perfect for flowy tops, blouses, tiered skirts, and casual-to-semi-formal dresses.
Use a walking foot or reduce presser foot pressure to keep layers aligned.
Ensure you are using a new, sharp microfiber or universal needle and check for burrs on the needle tip.
To achieve the best results, start by pre-washing the fabric using the same method you plan to use for the finished garment to account for any initial settling. Use a standard universal or microfiber needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) to prevent snagging the delicate weave.
