RNK Sew-Shrink Fabric Directions:
- If stitching a grid or specific pattern, use an iron safe fabric marking pen and sketch the lines you want to stitch directly onto the Sew-Shrink Fabric. This product does not have a right or wrong side.
- Place the Sew-Shrink Fabric behind your fabric with the drawn lines facing out. Pin if necessary.
- Stitch on the lines or do random stitching such as stipple quilting, circles, etc. **Remember, the closer the stitching the more wrinkles you will have!
- Heavily steam the piece from the Sew-Shrink Fabric side. Do NOT touch the iron to the Sew-Shrink Fabric or fabric during the shrinking process. The steam will do all the work!
- Now your wrinkled fabric is made and you are ready to trim, shape and insert it into your project! Have fun!
Washing & Other Tips
Sew-Shrink Fabric is washer/dryer and drycleaner safe.
Testing – Remember to test your fabric for the shrinkage amount before beginning your project. Some fabrics will shrink/wrinkle more and some less due to the nature of the fiber content. Generally you will obtain 30% shrinkage. Again, it is important to test first! Start with an 8″ square of fabric and see what size it shrinks to. If you are at 30%, the square should be 6″ after steaming. This will help you determine what size your beginning fabric should be.
Floral Fabric Tip – When attaching Sew-Shrink Fabric to a floral print, free stitch from the fabric side and outline the flowers for a dramatic effect!
