Sewing Your Jersey Fabric

Along with the actual Jersey Fabrics we are pleased to offer you all the ‘bits and bobs’ around the edges that make sewing Jersey easier and much more effective. For more info head to our .

However here are some crucial items:

Needles – Stitch with . The ball of the needle parts the Jersey fibres rather than piercing them to help ensure the elastic quality remain intact.

Thread – Stitch with , this is a poly/cotton fibre. Alternatively if you would prefer to work with a pure cotton option  will also stitch perfectly.

General Purpose Thread is included if you ‘add a matching thread above’.

Interfacing –  are created especially for working with fabrics such as Jersey. They add a little more body to make sewing easier.
