Yes, but due to its soft, fluid nature, beginners should use plenty of pins and consider using a walking foot for better results.
Like most high-quality jerseys, we recommend pre-washing to account for any minor shrinkage before you begin cutting your pattern.
Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the Lyocell fibers and extend the life of the elastane stretch recovery.
At 240 gsm, this is a medium-weight jersey that provides good coverage for most garments, though very tight-fitting white or light-colored variations might require a lining.
The fabric is cut from the roll and supplied by the metre as one continuous piece.
Adjust your machine's presser foot pressure or switch to a walking foot to prevent the fabric from stretching unevenly.
Ensure you are using a dedicated ballpoint or stretch needle (70/10 or 80/12) designed for knit fabrics.
To ensure your project remains in peak condition, prep your fabric by pre-washing it at 30 degrees Celsius, which is the recommended temperature for this material. When setting up your sewing machine, utilize a stretch-stitch or a narrow zigzag to allow the seams to move with the fabric. Avoid using heavy-duty pins, as they can pull the knit; instead, use fine glass-headed pins or pattern weights. Always store away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrant Aqua pigment over time.
