Our Fabric Care Advice

Care Instructions for our fabrics. Read about how to care for your fabrics

Our fabrics are not pre-washed. Some quilters like to pre-wash all of their fabrics before sewing to ensure there is no chance of shrinkage or colour bleeding. For best results, we do recommend pre-washing your fabric. Line-drying is also recommended to eliminate any chance of distortion from running it through the dryer. 

We Recommend:

• MACHINE WASH COLD
• MILD DETERGENT
• GENTLE CYCLE
• DO NOT BLEACH
• LINE DRY OR TUMBLE DRY LOW (REMOVE PROMPTLY)
• WARM IRON IF NEEDED

More Tips on Washing Cottons:

• Before machine washing, prepare any raw edges to stop fraying. Do this by trimming the raw edges with pinking shears or a pinking blade.
• When washing, use a gentle fragrance-free, neutral detergent on a gentle cycle with cold water.
• Purchase 5-10% extra fabric to allow for shrinkage when pre-washing
• To catch any possible colour bleeding, add several colour catchers into your wash cycle.
• Don't wash precuts before sewing, there is a chance they will shrink and no longer be perfectly square or the right size for your pattern
• Wash light colours separate to darker colour fabrics

Tips on Washing Cottons with Metallic

• When washing, use a non-chlorine bleach on a gentle cycle with cold water. Machine wash with like colours.
• Metallic might be removed in case of strong tumble dry - In this case, it's recommended to flat or line dry.
• Cool Iron if needed.

Tips on Washing Linens:

• Similar to the cottons, wash linens on low temperatures.
• Use a gentle machine cycle and soft detergent.
• Stick to low temperatures when machine drying. Remove from dryer when still slightly damp and hang dry to avoid linen drying stiff and to soften any creases.
• Machine drying is not recommended as it can leave permanent creases.
• Use a hot iron while the linens are still slightly damp if you want to press your linens.
• Wash light colours separate to darker colour fabrics
