How to Prevent Silk Fabric from Tearing?

Causes of Silk Fabric Tearing:

Excessive Softening Agents in Production:

• • Using too many softening agents during production can reduce the fabric's tear strength. While pursuing a soft feel, overuse of these agents can make the fabric prone to tearing during sewing. Silk products naturally become softer with use, so new fabric doesn't need to be extremely soft. Additionally, don't judge the quality of silk just by its softness.

Improper Washing Methods:

• • Do not twist or wring silk fabric forcefully during washing. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.

Avoiding Excessively Humid Environments:

• • Keep silk fabric out of overly damp conditions to maintain its integrity.

Choosing the Right Size:

• • For non-elastic silk garments, choose one size larger than usual for a looser fit. This helps prevent stress on the seams and reduces the risk of tearing.

By following these tips, you can help ensure your silk fabric remains in good condition and avoid tearing.
