Description
This cotton jersey is a circular knit: it does not fray at the cut edge and suits beginners as well. 145 cm wide, 200 g/m² — figures that tell you how heavily the fabric falls. Material: 95 % cotton and 5 % Elastan.
The tone is Ecru — light, clear and immune to changes in fashion. What you make from it still looks right in a few years. Knits stretch — so sewing them calls for a ballpoint needle and a stretch stitch or an overlocker. Before cutting, a look at the care symbols on the article pays off.
What Baumwolljersey Fuchsgesicht auf Ecru is suitable for
- dresses and skirts
- hoodies and sweat jackets
- leggings and trousers

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
