New To Cotton Stretch Jersey?

Cotton stretch jersey is a soft knitted fabric made with cotton and a small percentage of elastane.

Unlike ordinary woven cotton, jersey has natural flexibility thanks to its knitted construction, while the elastane provides additional stretch and helps the fabric recover its shape.

It's particularly popular for T-shirts, leggings, children's clothing, pyjamas and everyday garments because it combines comfort, breathability and freedom of movement.

A ballpoint or stretch needle and a suitable stretch stitch will help achieve the best results when sewing.
