Good to know
Do you still need a suitable thread or a suitable plain fabric? We are happy to choose the right one for you!
Jersey is best sewn with an overlock machine, but the overlock stitch on a normal sewing machine or a zigzag also work well.
The fabric can shrink up to 5%.
We recommend a jersey sewing needle for sewing, a twin needle is best for hemming.
We deliver the fabric folded, it is cut in one piece.
The colors may vary depending on the screen, we are happy to help with possible combinations.
washing recommendation
Wash at low temperature (max. 30°C) and with mild detergent without optical brightener. It is best to dry it lying down or hanging it up to preserve its elasticity. Iron at low temperature (max. 110°C) on the wrong side of the fabric. Avoid washing with rough or heavy-staining materials and tumble drying to prevent discoloration and damage to the fabric. If you follow these tips, you will enjoy your jersey garments for a long time!
