Frequently asked questions
Which needle does this want?
A jersey or stretch needle. Its rounded point pushes stitches aside instead of piercing them — a universal needle leaves small ladders that only show after washing.
Why do cut edges curl?
Because knitted fabric sits under tension along a cut. That is normal, disappearing once an edge gets bound or hemmed. While cutting, let your fabric lie flat rather than pulling it.
Which stitch survives the stretch?
A narrow zigzag, or your machine's stretch stitch. A straight seam snaps while dressing, because it cannot follow. An overlocker works fastest, though nothing requires one.
Should I pre-wash?
Yes, once before cutting. Knits containing cotton draw up slightly during their first wash, which should happen while your fabric remains yardage rather than a finished garment.
