Fabric Information - Flanellette

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash in warm water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach to preserve the fabric’s color and softness.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or line dry. High heat can cause shrinkage and affect the fabric’s softness.
  3. Ironing: Use a medium heat setting for ironing if needed. Iron on the reverse side to protect the fabric’s surface.
  4. Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid heavy stacking to prevent creases and maintain the fabric’s softness.

Use Instructions:

  • Soft and Warm Projects: Ideal for making cozy garments like pajamas, shirts, bedding, and baby items due to its soft, warm, and breathable nature.
  • Cutting: Use sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter for precise cuts. The soft texture may require careful handling to avoid fraying.
  • Sewing: Use a universal needle (size 80/12) and a standard straight stitch. A walking foot can help manage the fabric and prevent stretching.
  • Pre-Washing: Pre-washing is recommended to remove any sizing and allow for any potential shrinkage before cutting and sewing.

By adhering to these care and use instructions, your flannelette fabric projects will retain their softness, warmth, and durability, making them perfect for creating comfortable and cozy clothing and home accessories.
