The John Kaldor Roanne Ponte Roma stretch knit fabric is designed for sewists of all levels who prioritize both comfort and professional aesthetics. Combining the softness of viscose with the durability of nylon and the flexibility of elastane, this fabric is ideal for creating structured yet comfortable garments like dresses, cardigans, and tops. While it offers excellent drape and recovery, users should be mindful that its double-knit construction requires specific needle types and tension settings to ensure professional-looking seams.

Yes, because it is a stable double knit, it is much easier to manage than lightweight, slippery jersey fabrics.
As with most viscose-blend fabrics, it is recommended to pre-wash your fabric to minimize shrinkage before sewing your final garment.
While it has good stretch, it is generally better suited for structured garments like dresses and cardigans rather than high-performance athletic leggings.
The fabric is opaque and stable enough that most projects, such as tops and dresses, do not require a lining.
We recommend a size 80/12 or 90/14 ballpoint or stretch needle for optimal results.
The high-quality blend of fibers helps resist pilling, provided it is cared for according to the gentle wash instructions.
Switch to a fresh ballpoint or stretch-specific needle and ensure your presser foot pressure is adjusted.
Use a lightning-bolt stitch or a narrow zig-zag stitch instead of a straight stitch to allow for seam expansion.
Use spray starch before cutting to stabilize the edges and make handling easier.
To achieve the best results when working with Roanne Ponte Roma, always use a Stretch or Ballpoint needle to prevent skipped stitches or fabric damage. A narrow zig-zag stitch or a specialized knit stitch is recommended to allow the seams to stretch along with the fabric.
