Double Gauze Fabric Care
Sewing with double gauze fabric requires special attention and techniques due to its unique characteristics. We suggest the following when you are sewing with double gauze:
- Wash with cold water or use the delicate setting on your washing machine. Do not use a dryer. Double gauze may shrink after pre-washing.
- Due to its loose weave, double gauze fabric may shift during sewing, resulting in uneven seams or distorted shapes. Pinning or basting the fabric before stitching can help mitigate this issue.
- Double gauze fabric often requires special finishing techniques to prevent excessive fraying. Consider using French seams, serging, or binding raw edges to ensure the longevity of your project.

We recommend double gauze to sewists who consider themselves confident beginners.
