Fabric Information - Double Brushed Polyester

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners to maintain the fabric’s softness and elasticity.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid high heat to prevent damage to the spandex content and maintain the fabric’s brushed texture.
  3. Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting if necessary, but typically ironing is not needed due to the fabric's wrinkle-resistant properties.
  4. Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent fading.

Use Instructions:

  • Soft and Stretchy Projects: Ideal for leggings, dresses, tops, and loungewear due to its soft, brushed texture and excellent stretch.
  • Cutting: Use sharp scissors or a rotary cutter to ensure clean edges, as the stretch can make the fabric slippery.
  • Sewing: Use a stretch needle (size 75/11 or 80/12) and a stretch or zigzag stitch to accommodate the fabric’s elasticity. A walking foot can help manage the fabric’s stretch during sewing.
  • Pre-Washing: Pre-washing is recommended to eliminate any residual chemicals from manufacturing and to ensure the best fit and softness in your finished project.

By following these care and use guidelines, your double brushed polyester projects will maintain their luxurious feel, stretch, and vibrant appearance, making them perfect for comfortable and stylish garments.
