  Hints and Tips for Using 65/35 Polycotton:

  1. Pre-Wash:

  • Always pre-wash fabric at 30°C to account for any slight shrinkage or colour bleeding, ensuring consistency in your finished project.

  2. Cutting:

  • Use sharp scissors or rotary cutters to avoid fraying or snagging.

  • Align fabric carefully to maintain grain accuracy, especially for garments or precise quilting.

  3. Sewing Needles:

  • Use a universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12). For very fine polycotton, opt for the smaller size (70/10).

  4. Thread:

  • Polyester thread is ideal as it has similar care instructions and will maintain strength and flexibility during washing.

  5. Ironing:

  • Use a warm, not hot iron. Excessive heat can damage the polyester fibers. Always test on a small section first.

  6. Seams & Finishing:

  • Consider French seams or zigzag finishes to reduce fraying and ensure durability.

  • Lightweight interfacing works well to stabilize areas like collars, cuffs, or button plackets.

  7. Care Instructions:

  • Machine wash at a low temperature (30°C-40°C).

  • Avoid chlorine bleach.

  • Line-dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting to prevent static build-up and maintain fabric longevity.
