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.
