Tips for with Knits: • Use a ball point needle or jersey needle in your serger or .

• If you’re not using a serger, use a stretch on your sewing machine. It will look like this:

• If your sewing machine doesn’t have a stretch stitch, use the and low- er the width to 1 mm.

• To allow for a greater amount of stretch on your stitch, lower your tension by one number; if you usually have your tension set at a 5, lower it to a 4.

• When sewing with knits it is important to not stretch the fabric as you sew. If you’re experiencing wavy seams, try adjusting the to a lighter pres- sure.

• When using a serger, set your differential feed to 1.5 with a stitch length of 2.5 for medium weight knits, 1.0 with a 2.0 stitch length for light weight knits and 2.0 with a 3.0 stitch length for thick knits. (All sergers are different, use this as a guide- line.)

• For knits that roll at the edge, press with starch.

• Use Wooly Nylon or stretch in the of your sewing machine for greater stretch and tunneling issues from a double needle. This also works well with a for topstitching, not hemming.

• Use Wooly Nylon or stretch thread in the upper looper of your serger for fabrics with a great amount of stretch.

• Baste: To sew with long loose stitches in order to hold something in place temporarily during construction and fitting.

• Bias: A line diagonal to the grain of a fabric; a line at a 45 degree angle to the often uti- lized in the cutting of garments for smoother fit.

• Clipping: A technique that involves cutting slits into the seam allowance of outward curves to permit the edges of the seam to spread and lie smooth. Take great care not to cut into the seam stitching.

• : A triangular shape sewn onto a flat piece of fabric, allowing the fabric to conform to the contours of the body.

• Edgestitch: Straight stitching very close to the edge of a seam, trim, or outer edge. It secures seam allowances, prevents the edge from stretching, and supports the fabric.

• Fabric Stretch Gauge: The guide printed on the back of the pattern envelope to gauge the ap- propriate fabric stretch required for the garment design to fit properly.

• Fold: The edge formed by doubling the fabric when the selvage edges meet or are parallel.

• Gathering: A long running stitch that is used to pull fabric together to create a smaller surface area of fabric. Applications of the gathering stitch can be found at the waistline, cuffs, yoke, and in the construction of ruffles.

• : A border of a cloth article doubled back and stitched down.

• Right Side: The outside or topside of fabric; it is usually softer or smoother.

• Seam Allowance: The amount of fabric between the stitching or seam line and the fabric edge.

• : Machine stitches done from the right side of a garment for either a decorative effect or for functional reasons, or sometimes for both at the same time. Topstitching gives a garment a more tailored look.

• Understitching: A line of straight stitching, either by hand or machine, applied along certain seam lines such as neckline seams. Its purpose is to keep the facing and seam allowances laying flat in a particular direction.

• Wrong side: Usually the inside of a garment or the backside of fabric. Size Chart Glossary Printing Cutting Guide Elastic Edging Full Back Main Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Pg. 18 Marbella Tank © New Horizons Designs 2018 4cm 2” 26 24 22 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 6
