How to Care for Liner Fabric By The Yard

Quick answer

Wash your Kennedy Blue liner fabric by the yard in cold water on a gentle cycle, then hang dry and press on low heat before cutting or sewing to prevent shrinkage and fraying.

Step-by-step care guide

1. Pre-wash before cutting: Machine wash the liner fabric in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, which can damage the fibers. Common mistake: skipping pre-wash leads to uneven shrinkage after sewing.
2. Dry without heat: Hang the fabric to dry or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting. High heat can cause permanent wrinkles or melting, especially if the liner is a synthetic blend. Checkpoint: if you see water spots after drying, rinse again with distilled water.
3. Press on low heat: Use a warm iron (no steam) on the wrong side of the fabric to remove wrinkles. Test a small corner first to make sure the heat won't scorch the material. Common mistake: ironing directly on the right side can leave shiny marks.
4. Store flat or rolled: Fold the fabric loosely and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid hanging for long periods, as the weight can stretch the fabric. Checkpoint: use acid-free tissue paper between folds to prevent crease lines.
