The Mind The MAKER Organic Cotton Rib Stretch Knit is a premium, medium-to-heavyweight fabric designed for makers who prioritize sustainability and professional-grade results in their dressmaking projects. Its organic cotton blend offers exceptional breathability and a soft hand feel, while the added elastane ensures long-lasting shape retention for fitted garments; however, users should note the 110cm width, which may require additional yardage for larger clothing patterns compared to standard 140cm widths.

It is recommended to air dry or lay flat to dry to preserve the elastane and prevent unnecessary wear.
Switch to a fresh ballpoint or jersey-specific needle and ensure you are using a stitch designed for knits, such as a narrow zigzag or stretch stitch.
Use a walking foot or reduce the presser foot pressure if your machine allows; alternatively, use plenty of pins or clips to secure the layers.
Adjust the thread tension slightly or decrease the presser foot pressure; ensure you are not pulling the fabric through the machine.
