To sew these t-shirt, choose medium–weight, non-stretch or low-stretch knit fabrics made of natural (wool, cotton), artificial (viscose), blended (wool + polyester, cotton + polyester, cotton + elastane, etc.), or synthetic fibers (polyester, polyester + elastane).
Attention! We do not recommend stretchy knit fabrics.
The t-shirt in the photo is made of heavyweight loop-back French terry. The fabric is heavyweight, low-stretch, and structured. The fiber content is 100% cotton. The fabric weight is 400 g/m².
The neckband is made of rib knit. The fabric is soft and medium-stretch. The fiber content is 95% cotton and 5% elastane. The fabric weight is 400 g/m².

5. Matching thread — 5 spools (1 spool for the sewing machine + 4 spools for the overlocker)
− sewing machine for construction
− overlocker for stitching and finishing seam allowances. 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 and sleeve hems. It can be replaced with a twin needle on a regular sewing machine that can do a zigzag stitch
IMPORTANT! We recommend using specialty needles when working with knit fabrics (for example, STRETCH, SUPER STRETCH, JERSEY, etc.). These are ballpoint needles, so they part the threads of the fabric you are stitching without piercing them.
