Setup, Compatibility & Care

When preparing your project, pre-wash the fabric according to your final garment care instructions to account for any initial shrinkage. Use a universal or sharp needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) to ensure clean stitch lines without snagging the satin weave. Because of the fabric's smooth surface, use a walking foot if you find the layers are shifting during construction. For care, this fabric is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius; avoid high-heat tumble drying to preserve the integrity of the sheen.
