Sewing Notes

Recommended Needle:
Stretch Needle – 75/11

Rib jersey is generally lovely to wear and sew, although its stretch means a little care will help you achieve the best finish.

Use a stretch or ballpoint needle to avoid damaging the knitted fibres. A 75/11 stretch needle is a good starting point for most lightweight to medium-weight rib jerseys.

Use a stretch stitch, narrow zigzag or lightning stitch when sewing on a regular sewing machine so the seams can stretch with the fabric. An overlocker is also ideal for constructing seams.

Avoid stretching the fabric as you sew, particularly around necklines and hems, as this can cause the edges to become wavy. Allow the machine to feed the fabric naturally.

For hems, a twin stretch needle can give a neat ready-to-wear finish, or use a coverstitch machine if you have one.

Because rib jersey can sometimes curl slightly or shift while cutting, pattern weights and a rotary cutter can be particularly helpful.
