Hints & Tips for Working with Hessian Fabric
🧵 Cutting & Handling:
- Use sharp scissors or a rotary cutter to prevent fraying.
- Handle with care as hessian can shed fibers, so work in a well-ventilated area.
🪡 Sewing Recommendations:
- Use a universal needle (size 90/14 or 100/16) for best results.
- A strong polyester or heavy-duty cotton thread works best to prevent breakage.
✂️ Seam & Edge Finishing:
- Hessian frays easily, so finish raw edges with overlocking (serging), bias binding, or a zigzag stitch.
- For a no-sew option, apply fabric glue or fray check to edges.
🌿 Care & Maintenance:
- Hand wash in warm water and air dry to maintain texture and shape.
- Do not machine wash, as jute fibers weaken when overly saturated.
🔥 Ironing & Storage:
- Iron on a low heat setting with steam to remove creases.
- Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew buildup.
