Tips for Working with Natural Fabrics

• Pre-wash Fabrics: Natural fabrics can shrink. Pre-wash your fabric to ensure your finished product retains its intended size.
• Use the Right Needle: Depending on the weight and weave of the fabric, choose a needle that won’t damage it. For example, a ballpoint needle works well for jersey or knit fabrics.
• Adjust Sewing Machine Settings: Natural fabrics can vary in thickness and texture. Adjust your machine settings for tension and stitch length accordingly.
• Finishing Edges: Natural fabrics might fray, so consider using techniques such as serging or French seams to give your project a professional finish.
