Fabric Information - Polyester Stretch Mesh

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach to preserve the fabric’s integrity and elasticity.
  2. Drying: Lay flat to dry or tumble dry on low heat. High heat can damage the fabric’s stretch and delicate structure.
  3. Ironing: If needed, use a low heat setting and iron on the reverse side or with a pressing cloth to avoid damaging the fabric.
  4. Storage: Store folded or rolled in a cool, dry place to prevent stretching or distortion.

Use Instructions:

  • Lightweight, Breathable Projects: Ideal for making sportswear, lingerie, and layering pieces due to its stretch, breathability, and lightweight nature.
  • Cutting: Use sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter for clean edges. Handle carefully to prevent snagging or stretching out of shape.
  • Sewing: Use a ballpoint or stretch needle (size 75/11 or 80/12) and a stretch stitch or zigzag stitch to allow for flexibility and comfort. A walking foot can help manage the fabric's delicate nature.
  • Pre-Washing: Pre-washing is recommended to eliminate any residues and to ensure the fabric’s stability and performance in your final project.

By following these care and use instructions, your polyester stretch mesh fabric projects will maintain their flexibility, softness, and breathability, making them perfect for stylish, functional, and comfortable garments.
