I've been given some fabric to make removable covers for dining chair seats - I'm not entirely sure what it is but I think it might be velveteen (has short nap). The customer wants to be able to wash them so I need to pre-shrink the fabric before making up. I washed a 10cm square at 40 degrees to check what the shrinkage would be. As it turned out there was no discernable shrinkage but the nap has become marked where the fabric was creased in the machine - even though I removed it immediately.
Can anyone give me advice about how to wash this fabric and also how to remove the crease marks once it has dried. Even if I decide not to wash it first I still need to give him good care instructions so that the covers don't get ruined when washed.
Thanks
Karen
