Troubleshooting

Fabric seems to shrink after washing.

Pre-wash all fabric at the intended washing temperature (40 degrees Celsius) before cutting to minimize shrinkage in your finished project.

Needles are snagging the fabric.

Ensure you are using a sharp, fine needle suitable for cotton fabrics (e.g., a universal needle size 70/10 or 80/12). Check that your sewing machine's tension is correctly balanced.

Creases are difficult to remove.

Iron the fabric while it is slightly damp or use the steam function on your iron. Ensure you are ironing on the appropriate heat setting.

Color appears different from online image.

Monitor calibration can affect color representation. Order a swatch if exact color matching is critical for your project.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This fabric comes ready to use directly from the roll. Pre-washing is recommended before cutting to account for any potential shrinkage, especially before garment construction. Wash at 40 degrees Celsius.

Compatibility: Compatible with all standard sewing machines and techniques. It works well with most thread types (cotton or polyester) and interfacings. It can be used with rotary cutters, scissors, and quilting rulers.

Care: Machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry for best results. Iron on a medium setting. As with most cottons, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to maintain color vibrancy.
