This French terry stretches but sits considerably firmer than jersey — it holds its shape at hood and pockets. At 245 g/m² and 180 cm wide the fabric suits the usual paper patterns. It is made from 95 % cotton and 5 % elastane.
With Berry you choose a colour you do not see on every second piece. A striped pattern gives a piece direction — worn lengthwise it lengthens, crosswise it emphasises width. Sweat adds more bulk than jersey — on children's clothes cutting a size up pays off.
What Swafing French Terry Sören breite Streifen Beere schmale Streifen Weiß is suitable for

Frequently asked questions
Which cuffing suits it?
Fine rib for sleeves and hem, coarse rib for sturdier jackets. Cuffing is cut shorter than the circumference and sewn on stretched, otherwise the finish stands away.
How do I press sweat?
From the reverse and at moderate heat. On the face an iron flattens the loops, and that spot stays visibly flatter than the rest of the surface.
What do I do with offcuts?
Sweat offcuts become pockets, hood linings, cuffing alternatives or appliqué. The goods do not fray, so even small pieces work without finishing. The edge does not fray, so even narrow strips work without finishing.
Which needle and which stitch?
A jersey needle with a ball point, one size up for several layers. Sew with a stretch stitch or an overlocker — a straight seam will not survive the stretch at cuffs and hood.
