Troubleshooting
Skipped stitches during construction
Switch to a ballpoint or stretch needle and ensure you are using a stitch setting designed for knit fabrics, such as a narrow zigzag.
Fabric edges curling while sewing
Use a light application of spray starch to stabilize the edges before sewing, or use a walking foot to feed the fabric evenly.
Thread snapping when fabric is stretched
Ensure you are using a polyester thread with a bit of natural give or a stretch stitch setting that allows the seam to expand with the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin your project, ensure you have a standard sewing machine equipped with a ballpoint or stretch needle to prevent skipped stitches in your knit fabric. A serger is optional but highly recommended for a professional finish on seam allowances. When preparing your fabric, always pre-wash and dry it according to the manufacturer's directions to prevent shrinkage after the garment is sewn. Once completed, machine wash your Hayden Knit Tee on a gentle cycle with like colors and use a low-heat setting for tumble drying to maintain the fabric's integrity and shape over time.
