Description
Cotton jersey stretches across the grain and returns to shape. Exactly that makes it so usable for shirts and children's clothes. The web measures 145 cm across; its weight comes to 233 g/m². Its composition reads 94 % cotton and 6 % elastane.
Pink/White sits in the light warm range and suits almost anything placed beside it. Stripes ask for attention while cutting: they should meet at the seams. Stretch runs across the web; align your pattern pieces accordingly, otherwise the piece sits wrong later.
What Jersey Streifen Rosa/Weiß is suitable for
- shirts and long sleeves
- dresses and skirts
- hats and snoods

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
