Fabric Information - Athletic Wicking Jersey (AWJ)

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners to preserve the moisture-wicking properties.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. High heat can damage the fabric’s performance qualities.
  3. Ironing: Generally, ironing is not necessary. If needed, use a low heat setting with a pressing cloth to avoid direct heat on the fabric.
  4. Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place to prevent wrinkles and maintain the fabric’s quality.

Use Instructions:

  • Breathable and Moisture-Wicking Projects: Perfect for activewear, sports jerseys, and workout gear due to its ability to wick moisture away from the body and keep you cool and dry.
  • Cutting: Use sharp scissors or a rotary cutter for clean cuts, as the fabric can be slippery.
  • Sewing: Use a ballpoint or stretch needle (size 75/11 or 80/12) and a stretch or zigzag stitch to allow for flexibility and movement. A walking foot can help manage the fabric’s stretch and prevent puckering.
  • Pre-Washing: Pre-washing is recommended to remove any manufacturing residues and ensure the fabric performs as expected in finished garments.

By following these care and use instructions, your athletic wicking jersey projects will maintain their moisture-wicking capabilities, durability, and comfort, making them ideal for high-performance activewear.
