Once you start creating and sewing, it become very important that the fabric should be maintained properly so that it can provide long lasting results. And for this, storage matters a lot. Storing the fabric in the correct manner improves its quality and life and helps it perform continuously.

But in case you fail to store them in the right place, then probably, its life and the quality would get affected. Below are few of the storage tips for the fabric:

  1. Pre-shrinking of the fabric helps especially before storing it. Fabric gets ready right when you are about to use.
  2. Hanging of the fabric helps a lot. Rather than being rolled and bolt inside, fabric should be straightened and hanged properly. Few fabrics, like velvet may get unusable and permanently crushed while being folded, even while being folded on the hanger might affect the nap. Safety pins should be used for hanging the fabric to the hanger in case hanging is very much important.
  3. Avoid storing the fabric stuff in the sunlight. It should not be directly prone to the light of sun since the fabric gets faded by this, where fabric is not folded and you are left with two colored fabric.
  4. Storing the fabric in plastic bags and bins for protecting it from smoke, dust and grease helps.
  5. It would be better if you’ll store the fabric nicely for storage so that only minimum amount of space gets occupied providing better space for fabric.

Storage of the fabric in the right manner helps in improving both, its life and quality.
