Use extreme caution. Iron on a low heat setting from the reverse side only and avoid direct contact with the foil side to prevent melting.
While the stretch makes it comfortable, the slippery nature of ITY knit can be tricky for absolute beginners. We recommend practicing on scraps first.
With proper care—washing inside out at 40°C and avoiding the dryer—the foil is designed to stay durable for the life of the garment.
It is perfect for leggings, fitted t-shirts, dresses, and any garment where you want both comfort and a 'wow' factor.
Because it is a knit fabric, it generally does not fray, meaning you can leave hems raw if desired, though a turned hem provides a cleaner finish.
Switch to a new stretch or ballpoint needle and ensure you are using a walking foot or lowering your presser foot pressure.
Adjust your machine to a stretch stitch setting and use a high-quality polyester thread that offers slight give.
Use pattern weights instead of pins to hold the fabric in place and cut on a non-slip surface like a cutting mat.
For optimal results, use a ballpoint or stretch needle to avoid piercing the fibers and damaging the foil pattern. When cutting, ensure the fabric is laid flat and use sharp fabric weights to prevent the material from shifting, as it has a tendency to slide on smooth surfaces. For sewing, a stretch stitch or a narrow zigzag stitch is recommended to maintain the integrity of the seams when the fabric is stretched. To care for your garments, wash them inside out on a gentle cycle at 40°C with mild detergent. Avoid tumble drying or using harsh chemicals, as these can dull the hologram finish or cause the foil dots to flake prematurely.
