Let’s chat about sewing stretch knit fabrics on a sewing machine! There are so many different stitches you could use and you may feel completely lost and overwhelmed with which one is best for you to use.
Tune in today and let’s test out several different stitches on a home sewing machine and chat about what the best option would be for those of us who don’t have a serger to sew our stretch knits with.
If you’ve been thinking of sewing your own clothes this year, tune in! Understanding more about your sewing machine’s settings and capabilities will give you more confidence so you can make garments with stretch knits this year!
