IMPORTANT! When purchasing fabric, please account for shrinkage and buy 5% more than required.
2. Clear elastic, 0.5–0.6 cm (just under 1/4”) wide — 65 cm (25 5/8”)
3. Matching thread — 5 spools (1 spool for the sewing machine + 4 spools for the overlocker).
− sewing machine
overlocker 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 2–3 mm, stitch length 2.5 mm)
coverstitch or coverlock machine for finishing the garment hem. If you don’t have a coverstitch machine, the hem can be finished with a twin needle on any regular sewing machine with a zigzag function
IMPORTANT! We recommend using specialty needles when working with knit fabrics (for example, STRETCH, SUPER STRETCH, JERSEY, etc.). These needles have a ballpoint tip that parts the knit loops without piercing the threads.
