Description
Coarse rib cuffing has more body than fine rib and therefore suits sweat jackets and coats. At 517 g/m² and 31 cm wide the fabric suits the usual paper patterns. It is made from 95 % cotton and 5 % Elastan.
With Sand you get a base tone that suits earth shades as readily as strong red or green. 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. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.
What Coarse Rib Cuffing in Sand is suitable for
- leggings and trousers
- hats and snoods
- children's bedding

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
