How to Tell if Fabric is Natural or Synthetic
"With natural fibers, like cotton, pre-wash your fabrics, except for something like wool, which cannot be washed in a washing machine, natural fibers can and will shrink..."
"It took me years to realize...different fabrics sometimes require different needles in the sewing machine."
"In the 2 years I did dressmaking "Applied Fashion Design & Technology" at TAFE, we did a lot of fibre identification, and I had an amazing teacher who brought in samples of anything new she came across. We were taught that fibres fitted into 3 categories - Natural (silk, wool, cotton, linen etc), Man-made (Rayon, a 'natural' product but needing a lot more processes to convert it into fribres), and Synthetic (nylon, polyester, etc - all petro-chemical byproducts)."
