2. Pick your colour family
Use the group links above to browse related shades, then select the exact colour that suits your design and brand palette.
3. Test before the full run
Use the recommended needle, stabiliser and machine settings for your fabric. Sew a small sample to check tension, coverage and colour.
Helpful tip: Rayon has a beautiful lustre, so the final colour can shift slightly with stitch direction and lighting. Keep a stitched sample card for repeat orders and colour matching.
