Fabric Information - Swim

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Hand wash or machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and harsh chemicals that can damage the fabric’s elasticity.
- Drying: Air dry flat or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid high heat to preserve the spandex content and prevent shrinking or damage.
- Ironing: Generally, ironing is not necessary. If needed, use a low heat setting with a pressing cloth to avoid direct heat.
- Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place, avoiding prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent fading.
Use Instructions:
- Stretch and Comfort: Perfect for swimwear, activewear, and dancewear due to its excellent stretch and recovery, along with its quick-drying properties.
- Cutting: Use sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter to ensure clean cuts, as the spandex content can make the fabric slippery.
- Sewing: Use a stretch needle (size 75/11) and a stretch or zigzag stitch to accommodate the fabric's elasticity. A walking foot can help manage the fabric’s stretch during sewing.
- Pre-Washing: Pre-washing is recommended to remove any residual chemicals from manufacturing and to ensure the best fit and feel for your projects.
By following these care and use guidelines, your swim fabric projects will maintain their elasticity, vibrant colors, and durability, making them perfect for high-performance, comfortable wear.
