Viscose jersey drapes softer and more fluidly than cotton jersey. It follows the body rather than standing away. The fabric comes 145 cm wide and brings 220 g/m² to the scale. Its composition reads 5 % elastane and 95 % viscose.
Pink/Orange suits grey and beige particularly well; the pairing reads calmer than with pure white. Its floral pattern gives the fabric its theme — depending on the cut it reads playful or calm. Stretch runs across the web; align your pattern pieces accordingly, otherwise the piece sits wrong later.
What Viskosejersey Flower Power Druck Rosa/Orange is suitable for
- dresses and skirts
- children's clothing
- 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.
