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.
