Fabric Information - Laminated Minky

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners to protect the laminate and maintain the fabric’s softness.
  2. Drying: Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. High heat can damage the laminate layer and affect the fabric's texture.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron directly on the laminated side. If necessary, use a low heat setting and a pressing cloth on the non-laminated side.
  4. Storage: Store rolled or folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding tightly to prevent creasing the laminated layer.

Use Instructions:

  • Water-Resistant and Soft Projects: Perfect for baby items like cloth nappies, changing pad covers, and wet bags, as well as home décor and personal care items requiring a soft, water-resistant surface.
  • Cutting: Use sharp scissors or a rotary cutter for clean cuts. The laminate may cause slight resistance, so ensure tools are sharp.
  • Sewing: Use a universal needle (size 80/12) and a standard straight or zigzag stitch. A walking foot or non-stick foot can help prevent sticking and puckering when sewing the laminated side.
  • Pre-Washing: Pre-washing is recommended to remove any potential manufacturing residues and ensure the fabric’s performance in finished items.

By following these care and use guidelines, your laminated minky projects will retain their softness, water-resistant properties, and overall durability, making them ideal for a variety of cozy and functional applications.
