Yes, but it is best to practice on scraps first to get a feel for how the mesh behaves under the presser foot.
Due to its fishnet design, it is transparent. You will likely need to line it or wear it over other garments.
No, it is specifically designed with excellent recovery properties to retain its shape after repeated use.
It is sold by the metre, and orders are cut as one continuous piece.
Yes, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle and hang dry for the best results.
Switch to a ballpoint or stretch-specific needle and ensure your presser foot pressure is adjusted for stretchy fabrics.
Use a stretch stitch or a narrow zig-zag stitch and ensure you are not pulling or stretching the fabric while it feeds through the machine.
Check your workspace for rough edges or sharp tools and use fine-tipped sewing pins to avoid catching the mesh filaments.
To ensure the best results, use a ballpoint or stretch needle to prevent skipped stitches when sewing the mesh. A zig-zag or stretch stitch is recommended to maintain the fabric's natural elasticity. When cutting, use sharp rotary cutters or scissors to ensure clean edges, as the mesh can fray if snagged. For care, wash the fabric in cool water using a gentle cycle and hang to dry. Avoid high heat during ironing, as the synthetic fibers in the mesh may lose their shape or melt if exposed to direct, excessive temperatures.
