Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a standard sewing machine with a universal needle appropriate for your chosen fabric. Before cutting, press the tissue pattern flat with a cool iron to remove creases. When preparing your fabric, always pre-wash and dry it according to the manufacturer's instructions to prevent shrinking after the garment is completed. Keep the finished garment looking its best by following the specific care labels on your chosen fabric, generally avoiding high-heat tumble drying if delicate materials are used.
