Yes, but it is recommended to use a walking foot and stay-stitch curved edges to manage the stretch of the jersey.
It is best to air dry to maintain the integrity of the Tencel fibers and the elastane stretch, but check your machine settings if you must use heat.
As with most natural-based knits, some minimal shrinkage may occur. Always pre-wash your fabric as you intend to wash the finished garment.
It is excellent for T-shirts, tops, dresses, and loungewear where a soft, drapey finish is desired.
This fabric is approximately 240gsm, categorizing it as a medium-weight jersey.
Switch to a fresh jersey or ballpoint needle and ensure your presser foot pressure is set correctly for knit fabrics.
Adjust your machine's differential feed or use a walking foot to prevent the fabric from being pulled and stretched while passing under the needle.
Use spray starch or light basting tape before sewing to stabilize the edges and keep the jersey flat.
To ensure the best results with this Tencel Lyocell jersey, pre-wash the fabric at 30 degrees to account for any initial shrinkage. Use a stretch or jersey needle (ballpoint) to prevent skipped stitches and damage to the fibers. When cutting, avoid pulling the fabric; allow it to lay flat on your cutting surface to maintain its natural grain. For sewing, a narrow zigzag stitch or an overlock stitch is recommended to accommodate the stretch. Always store folded rather than hanging to prevent the fabric from stretching out of shape over time.
