Manteniment i cura

The care instructions for your finished garment will depend entirely on the fabric you chose. Always follow the care instructions for your specific fabric type to ensure the longevity and appearance of your handmade top.

• Rentat: Machine wash cold or hand wash delicate, depending on fabric.
• Assecat: Tumble dry low or hang dry to prevent shrinkage and preserve fabric quality.
• Planxa: Iron on a low to medium setting, suitable for your fabric type. Use a pressing cloth if necessary.
• Emmagatzematge: Store your finished garment on a hanger to maintain its shape.

Troubleshooting Common Sewing Issues

Even with a "Very Easy" pattern, minor issues can arise. Here are some common troubleshooting tips:

• Fabric Slipping: If using slippery fabrics like satin or georgette, use more pins, a walking foot on your sewing machine, or tissue paper underneath the fabric to stabilize it.
• Uneven Seams: Ensure consistent seam allowance by using a seam guide on your sewing machine. Practice on scraps.
• Gathering Issues: If gathers are uneven, try sewing two parallel rows of basting stitches and pulling both bobbin threads simultaneously.
• Fit Problems: If the garment doesn't fit as expected, double-check your measurements against the pattern's finished garment measurements. Small adjustments can often be made at the side seams.
• Needle Breaking/Skipped Stitches: Ensure you are using the correct needle type and size for your fabric. Replace dull or bent needles.
