Fabric Information - Double Minky

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach to preserve the fabric’s softness and vibrant colors.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. High heat can damage the fabric’s fibers and reduce its plush texture.
- Ironing: Ironing is generally not recommended due to the fabric’s plush nature. If needed, use a very low heat setting and avoid direct contact with the fabric by using a pressing cloth.
- Storage: Store folded or rolled in a cool, dry place to maintain its softness and prevent creasing.
Use Instructions:
- Plush and Cozy Projects: Ideal for making blankets, throws, baby items, and plush toys due to its ultra-soft and warm texture.
- Cutting: Use sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter for clean cuts. The fabric’s thickness may require careful handling to prevent fraying.
- Sewing: Use a universal needle (size 90/14) and a longer stitch length to accommodate the fabric’s thickness. A walking foot or dual-feed system can help manage the fabric’s bulk and prevent slipping or stretching.
- Pre-Washing: Pre-washing is optional as polyester fabrics typically have minimal shrinkage. However, it can help remove any potential residues and ensure the fabric behaves as expected in the final project.
By following these care and use instructions, your double minky fabric projects will maintain their plush, soft texture and durability, making them perfect for cozy, comforting items.
