Yes, but it is helpful to have experience with jersey knits as they can be slippery; using the right needle and stabilizers will make the process easier.
As with most natural fibers, some minor shrinkage may occur. Pre-washing as instructed helps mitigate this before you start your project.
It is recommended to wash at 30 degrees and air dry flat to preserve the fibers and prevent unnecessary heat damage.
Yes, when you order by the metre, the fabric is cut as one continuous piece for your convenience.
It is perfect for T-shirts, lounge dresses, tunics, and any project that requires soft, breathable knit material.
Switch to a fresh ballpoint or jersey-specific needle and ensure your presser foot tension is correctly adjusted for knit fabrics.
Use starch spray on the edges before cutting or use clips instead of pins to hold pattern pieces in place.
Reduce the pressure on your machine's presser foot or use a walking foot to help feed the fabric evenly.
When preparing the fabric, always pre-wash the material at 30 degrees to account for minor shrinkage before cutting your pattern pieces. To ensure the best results, use a jersey or ballpoint needle size 70/10 or 80/12 to avoid skipping stitches. When sewing seams, a stretch stitch or a small zigzag stitch is recommended to maintain the fabric's flexibility. Avoid pulling the fabric as it feeds through the machine to prevent wavy, uneven edges. Store the fabric folded in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the Mauve color vibrancy.
