Yes, it is suitable for swimsuits, though the sequins may be sensitive to harsh chlorine pools over long periods.
With a weight of 310gsm, it is considered opaque and provides good coverage for most garments.
While the fabric is substantial, you may prefer to line skin-contact areas for additional comfort against the reverse side of the sequins.
Use a stretch stitch or a twin needle to maintain the stretch of the hem, or use a decorative binding to finish the edge.
No. Heat from the dryer can melt the sequins and damage the elastic fibers in the lycra.
The sequins are dense; remove sequins from the specific seam allowance line before sewing or use a heavy-duty stretch needle.
Use a walking foot or a piece of tissue paper underneath the fabric to help the feed dogs grip the material better.
Apply a light spray starch or use a serger (overlocker) immediately after cutting to stabilize the edges.
When sewing this fabric, use a stretch-specific needle (such as a ballpoint or stretch needle) to avoid damaging the knit structure.

When cutting, ensure you are cutting from the reverse side to avoid dulling your fabric shears on the sequins.
