   I love sewing on Liberty. I pre wash in a perm press or delicate cycle. Line dry. I use a poly thread, finish most seams with a French seam. Lots of pressing. Happy sewing!

   Always pre-wash fabric, unless it's a type of fabric that shouldn't be washed at all. I would probably dry it in the dryer as well, although I have not yet used the pieces of Liberty Lawn that I've purchased. I feel that it is an insurance policy against accidental drying (and likely shrinking) after it's made.

   This is a great resource: https://www.threadsmagazine.com/2023/01/18/finely-woven-batiste-lawn-and-voile

   Thanks pjb, that's a very informative article! (But what disappointing photographs, huh? Just a collage of various fabric prints instead of actually showing us anything about differences in the weight or weave of the fabrics. Sadly, a lot of Threads photography lately has gone in a similar direction of pretty but unhelpful decorative illustrations, instead of visually conveying important information the way Threads article pictures did in earlier decades.)
