RNK Giving Your Projects Dimension Sew Shrink Fabric
Sew-Shrink Fabric a versatile product designed to add a random, wrinkled texture to a wide range of fabrics and can be used to create wearables or home decorative items such as shirts, jackets, skirts, quilts, placemats, pillows and curtains. Every fabric shrinks slightly differently so you will want to test before using. Generally, fabrics will shrink approximately 30%.
If you want to stitch a grid or a specific pattern on Sew-Shrink Fabric, it can safely be marked with a fabric pen. It does not have a right or wrong side. Sew-Shrink Fabric is placed behind your fabric with the drawn lines facing out. Stitch over your lines. Heavily steam Sew-Shrink Fabric with an iron and watch the magic occur. It’s now ready to trim or insert in your project. The wrinkles will hold in place even if laundered and it’s also safe to dry-clean.
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!
