Description
Cotton jersey combines two things that rarely meet: tough enough for daily wear and soft enough for a baby's skin. At 145 cm wide its weight per square metre is 210 g/m². It is woven from 97 % cotton and 3 % Elastan.
White shows pattern and texture better than any dark tone — the fabric stays a quiet ground. Dyed plain, the fabric lets cut and construction work; a cuff or a companion fabric takes over the pattern elsewhere. Stretch runs across the web; align your pattern pieces accordingly, otherwise the piece sits wrong later.
What Piquejersey Uni Weiß by Swafing is suitable for
- hoodies and sweat jackets
- hats and snoods
- children's bedding

Frequently asked questions
Why does the cut edge curl?
Because knits are made of loops that relax when cut. That is normal and no fault. While cutting it helps to keep the fabric flat and to use a rotary cutter.
How much fabric do I need?
That depends on the pattern and the fabric width. As a rule of thumb an adult shirt takes about twice the body length, less on wide goods. Add seam allowances and cuffing.
Do I need an overlocker?
Not necessary, but convenient. Everything works with a stretch stitch on a domestic machine — it only takes longer, since sewing and finishing stay two steps.
Which needle do I need?
A jersey or stretch needle with a ball point. It pushes the loops aside instead of piercing them. A universal needle leaves small holes that later run into ladders.
