Fabric Information - French Terry

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach to preserve the fabric's color and elasticity.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or line dry to maintain the fabric's softness and prevent shrinkage.
- Ironing: Use a medium heat setting if ironing is necessary. Iron on the reverse side to protect the fabric's texture.
- Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging for extended periods to prevent stretching.
Use Instructions:
- Comfortable and Versatile Projects: Ideal for making loungewear, hoodies, sweatpants, and casual wear due to its soft, breathable, and stretchy nature.
- Cutting: Use sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter for clean edges. The fabric’s stretch may require careful handling to maintain shape.
- Sewing: Use a ballpoint or stretch needle (size 75/11 or 80/12) and a stretch stitch or zigzag stitch to allow for movement and flexibility. A walking foot can help manage the fabric and prevent puckering.
- Pre-Washing: Pre-washing is recommended to remove any sizing and to account for any potential shrinkage before cutting and sewing.
By following these care and use instructions, your French terry fabric projects will retain their softness, comfort, and durability, making them perfect for cozy, everyday apparel.
