Sew Knits

It is easy to Sew knits once you know a few basics. I found this great tutorial that will show you how to sew a perfect neckline everytime, with a regular sewing machine, a straight stithcing foot and a ball point needle.

When I sewed my knit top, I used a regular straight stitch set at 3mm, and I stretch my seam as I sew, this build the give you need into the seam, and your stitches won’t pop half way through your day when you wear the top.

The amount of stretch varies from knit to knit so it’s important to learn how the different fabrics behave and then experiment with the various types of neckline finishes you’ll be creating. This video takes you through the process of sewing neckline bindings for knits. Click the RealPlayer or Quicktime link to start the actual video.
