Hints & Tips for Working with Cotton Anglaise Fabric
🧵 Cutting & Sewing: Use sharp scissors to prevent fraying. Since the fabric has eyelet cut-outs, consider lining for added coverage.
🪡 Needles & Thread: A fine needle (size 70/10) and cotton thread work best for neat stitching.
🌀 Washing & Care: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry low or air dry to preserve softness.
🔥 Ironing: Use a low-heat setting with steam to smooth out wrinkles. Iron on the reverse side to protect embroidery.
✂️ Finishing Seams: French seams or overlocking help prevent fraying and ensure a polished finish.
