To sew this thong, choose medium weight, pliable, soft, stretchy (stretch factor 1.5) knit fabrics with natural, artificial, blended or synthetic fiber content.
You can determine the stretch factor of the fabric yourself. Mark 10 cm (4") along the crosswise grain of the fabric, lay a ruler next to the marked section, and stretch the fabric. Divide the measurement you get by 10.
The following fabrics are recommended: jersey, knits, stretch mesh, biflex.
Attention! We recommend using only stretchy fabrics for this thong.
As an additional material for the gusset, choose medium-weight and medium-stretch knits. We recommend using fabrics made of 100% natural fibers, such as jersey.
The thong in the photos is made of stretch mesh. The fabric is medium weight and stretchy. The fiber content is 95% nylon and 5% spandex. The fabric weight is 147 g/m2.
The additional material is 100% cotton. The fabric weight is 120 g/m2.

4. Matching thread — 5 spools (1 spool for the sewing machine + 4 spools for the overlocker)
− sewing machine for construction
− overlocker for construction and finishing raw edges. It can be replaced with a stretch overlock stitch or a zigzag stitch on the sewing machine (overlock or zigzag stitch width 2–3 mm, stitch length 2.5 mm)
Important! We recommend using specialty needles when working with knit fabrics and elastic (for example, STRETCH, SUPER STRETCH, JERSEY, etc.). When sewing, a ball-shaped needle point pushes the knit loops apart without piercing the threads.
