Expert Sewing Tips for Organic Cotton

1. Pre-Wash is Essential: Organic cotton is untreated and will shrink slightly (approx 5-7%) on the first wash. Always wash and dry the fabric before cutting your pattern.

2. Needle Choice: Use a fresh Universal 80/12 or Microtex needle. Poplin has a tight weave, and a sharp needle ensures a perfectly straight stitch line.

3. Ironing: Poplin loves steam! Use a hot iron with steam to get crisp, sharp seams and collars.
