Troubleshooting

Fabric Shrinkage after washing

Always pre-wash and dry the fabric according to care instructions before cutting and sewing to account for any natural shrinkage.

Fabric appears wrinkled

Iron the fabric on a medium to high heat setting, using steam if necessary, or iron while slightly damp. Ensure proper storage to minimize creasing.

Seams are not crisp

Ensure your sewing machine needle is appropriate for cotton and that your tension is correctly set. Using a walking foot can help maintain even fabric feed.

Color fading

Wash in cold water and use a color-safe detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying or displaying finished items.
