IMPORTANT! When purchasing fabric, please account for shrinkage and buy 5% more than required.

3. Lightweight fusible knit interfacing material, 140cm (55”) wide, for all sizes and heights – 10cm (4”). Fusible straight grained seam tape as an alternative – 30cm (12”).

4.Knit bias tape, 1.5 cm (5/8”) wide - 1.5-2m (59” to 79”), depending on the size. The required length of the knit bias tape must be measured on the paper patterns. This type of ready-made bias tape is most often used in underwear making. It can be replaced with 1cm (3/8”) wide silicone tape.

5. Matching thread, 5 spools (1 spool for the sewing machine and 4 spools for the overlocker).

- Sewing machine for construction;

- Overlocker for construction and for finishing raw edges. This may be replaced with a stretch overlock stitch or a zigzag stitch on the sewing machine (overlock or zigzag stitch width 2-3mm, stitch length 2.5mm);

- Coverstitch / coverlock machine for finishing the garment hem. If such a machine is not available, the garment hem can be finished with a twin needle on the sewing machine with a zigzag function;

- Loop turner;

- Ballpoint needles for knits.

Important! For knit projects, we recommend using special sewing needles for stretchy knit fabrics (e.g. STRETCH, SUPER STRETCH, JERSEY, etc.).  When sewing, a ball-shaped needle point pushes the knit loops apart without piercing the threads.
