Specific washing instructions for this cloth: (note if there are any white marks when you receive the cloth, these will come off in the wash). 

We recommend pre washing your canvas before sewing. Putting a large piece of canvas into the washing machine can sometimes lead to white creases, this is because it is a stiff fabric so it doesn't have room to move around. We recommend doing the following to help this not to happen:

• Wash your canvas on its own for the first wash.
• Sink your canvas in water before hand, letting it fully absorb, so you are putting in the canvas already wet.
• If you can break up your canvas fabric into half this will help.
• For the first wash use a delicate 30 degree cycle with a low spin.
• If any white creases develop ironing whilst still damp will help.
• Do not tumble dry.
