Sewing with Knit and Jersey Fabrics

We know that sewing with knit and jersey fabrics can be a nerve wracking prospect, but there are so many reasons to give them a try. They are easy to fit, comfortable, don't need hemming and actually sewing them just isn't as hard as you might think. We'll take you through all of our top tips for getting great results on a sewing machine including which sewing machine needles, feet and stitches to use plus which tapes and interfacing to use. We'll also give you tips on how to choose the right fabric and patterns. We'll give you a quick overview of overlockers and coverstitch machines too, although this video will show it isn't necessary to have one to enjoy sewing these fabrics.
