Sewing tips
- Die Rippen haben eine Strichrichtung. Alle Teile gleich herum zuschneiden, sonst glänzen sie unterschiedlich.
- Rippen längs zum Fadenlauf legen und an den Nähten auf gleicher Höhe ausrichten, bei Kissen auch diagonal möglich.
- Jeans- oder Universalnadel 90 bis 100, Stichlänge 3, am besten mit Obertransportfuß.
- Nahtzugaben schmal zurückschneiden und auseinanderlegen, dann trägt die Naht weniger auf.
- Für Polsterarbeiten den Stoff straff spannen und mit Polsterklammern befestigen.
- Bei 30 Grad waschen, nicht bleichen, nicht in den Trockner und nicht bügeln.

Frequently asked questions
What does wide cord mean?
Wide cord has much broader ribs than fine corduroy. On Wanja they are bold velvet ribs that show plenty of texture and catch the light differently depending on the angle. The effect is homely and high quality.
What should I watch when cutting?
The velvet pile has a direction. Lay every piece the same way round, otherwise they will shimmer differently later. The ribs run along the grain and should meet at the same height across seams.
Is Wanja suitable for upholstery?
Yes, this fabric is highly abrasion-resistant and copes well with frequent sitting. For armchairs, chairs and stools, stretch it taut and fix it with upholstery staples. It helps to fold the corners as a test first.
Does this fabric shrink in the wash?
Polyester hardly shrinks, so prewashing matters less than with cotton. For cushion covers and garments that will go in the machine later, a test wash is still worthwhile so nothing comes as a surprise.
