Troubleshooting

Fabric seems to shrink after washing.

Ensure you are washing at the recommended 40 degrees and pre-wash the fabric before cutting your pattern pieces.

Color fades quickly.

Wash in cold water (up to 40 degrees), use a mild detergent, and avoid direct sunlight when drying. Turn the fabric inside out when washing and drying.

Needle pulling or snagging.

Use a fine-gauge universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) and a suitable thread. Avoid pulling the fabric taut while sewing.

Seams are not holding well due to stretch.

Use a stitch designed for knits or stretch fabrics, such as a narrow zigzag stitch or a serger. Consider using a stretch interfacing if needed.
