Fabric Care Guide

Please follow the care instructions below in order to prolong the life of your fabrics. If you'd like to learn more about pre-washing, click here.

• Pre-washing and ironing before sewing will often give better results. Please check how the fiber content will react to washing and ironing before doing so.
• When pressing your fabrics, use the low-medium setting on the reverse side of the fabric. You can also place another piece of fabric in between when ironing.
• We recommend hand washing your fabrics wherever possible. If you choose to use a washing machine, please do so at your own risk. Place fabrics in a mesh laundry bag to prevent fraying, and wash in cold water on the delicate setting only.
• Please do not use a dryer when drying your fabrics.
• Some color fading is expected when washed.

• On unbleached cotton fabrics, there may be remnants from the natural fibers appearing as black and brown flecks. 

• Color may transfer if fabrics are wet. 

• Please do not dry clean your fabric.

• Fabric may shrink after washing. 

• Color may bleed after washing. 

• To prevent this, we recommend that you pre-wash your fabrics before sewing, in cold water.

• Iron with a low-medium heat.

• Hand wash with cold water. If you use a washing machine, put inside a mesh bag, wash with cold water on a delicate setting. These fabrics can easily shrink when too much heat or friction is applied. 

• Iron with a low-medium heat and on the dry setting

• Hand wash with cold water or machine wash on a cool and gentle cycle. Lay flat to dry and iron on a low heat setting. 

• Wash with similar colors to prevent dye from transferring to other fabrics. 

• Iron with a low-medium heat and on the dry setting.

• Hand wash silk in a mesh bag in cold water with a silk-safe detergent. 

• Never iron while wet.

• Do not wash.

• We recommend hand washing with care. Please be aware that washing, particularly in a machine, may affect the structure of the fabric. If your project does not include interfacing, we especially recommend avoiding washing in order to preserve the shape and structure of the finished item. If you do choose to wash, do so at your own risk on a delicate setting in cold water.

• Do not wash before embroidering, as the guidelines will wash off.
