5. Care and Maintenance Instructions

To preserve the longevity and appearance of your Linen Knit Fabric for Shirt, follow these care guidelines:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold or lukewarm water.
  • Detergent: Use mild, non-bleaching detergent to maintain fiber integrity.
  • Drying: Air-dry flat or tumble dry on low heat to prevent stretching.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron at medium temperature while fabric is slightly damp.
  • Storage: Fold neatly; avoid hanging heavy garments to prevent distortion.

6. Installation & Sewing Process

Creating garments with Linen Knit Fabric is simple when handled with care.

Here’s how to achieve optimal results:

Pre-Wash the Fabric:

  • Wash before cutting to eliminate any shrinkage and soften the fibers.

Cutting:

  • Use a rotary cutter or sharp fabric scissors. Lay flat without stretching to maintain shape accuracy.

Needle & Thread:

  • Use a ballpoint or stretch needle (size 75/11 or 80/12).
  • Choose polyester or cotton-wrapped thread for strength.

Stitch Type:

  • A stretch stitch or narrow zigzag works best for knit fabrics.

Seam Finishing:

  • Overlock or serge the edges to prevent fraying.

Pressing:

  • Press gently with steam between sewing steps for a professional finish.
