Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Works well with standard sewing machines and needles. Use a fine needle size (e.g., 60/8 or 70/10) to avoid snags.
Cutting: Lay the fabric flat on a cutting surface and use a rotary cutter or sharp scissors for precise cuts. Consider using pattern weights to hold the fabric in place.
Sewing: Use a polyester thread to match the fabric. Test the tension and stitch length on a fabric scrap before starting your project. A slight zigzag stitch can help prevent the seams from pulling.
Care: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Iron on a low setting, if needed, using a pressing cloth to protect the fabric.
