Expert Tips for Sewing William Morris Prints

To get the best results with this 220gsm cotton, follow these professional tips:

1. Pattern Matching: William Morris designs (like Strawberry Thief) have a clear repeat. When calculating your yardage for curtains or upholstery, always buy a little extra so you can match the pattern at the seams.

2. Pre-Wash Your Fabric: As this is 100% natural cotton, slight shrinkage can occur after the first wash. We highly recommend pre-washing the fabric at 30°C before cutting to ensure your final fit is perfect.

3. Needle Choice: Since this is a medium-weight fabric (220gsm), use a Universal 90/14 needle. A standard 70/80 needle might be too thin and could bend when going through multiple layers.
