Screen color calibration can vary. Always check product images carefully. Minor variations between dye lots are possible; if precise color matching is critical for a large project, order all fabric at once.
Preparation:
Before cutting and sewing, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric. Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Tumble dry on low or line dry. This step helps to pre-shrink the fabric and remove any residual finishing chemicals.
Sewing:
Use a universal sewing machine needle (size 80/12 is common). A standard cotton thread will work well. It is advisable to test your stitch length and tension on a scrap piece of the fabric before starting your project.
