Fabric Preparation and Care

We recommend you treat the fabric before cutting in the same manner you plan to care for it once the garment is constructed. For those of you who wash most of your fabrics, we suggest that you wash a measured scrap of the fabric first. If you are satisfied with the results, then pre-wash your full piece of fabric using that method.

The following fabric care codes may be indicated in our product descriptions:

M Machine Wash — Tumble Dry
We suggest Warm/Cold water on a regular or permanent press cycle in your washer. Tumble Dry Low.
C Cool Wash — Low Dry
We suggest Cold/Cold on a gentle cycle in your washer.  Tumble Dry Extra Low.
H/D Hand Wash or Dry Clean
For hand washing we suggest tepid water with mild soap and a thorough rinse.  Hang folded over a clothes rack or on a line with a series of pins to support the weight.  We recommend you test wash a swatch first to be sure you are satisfied with the results.  If not, dry cleaning is appropriate.
D Dry Clean Only
We suggest professional dry cleaning.
