​Good to know

• You still need a suitable thread? We are happy to choose the right one for you!
• The fabric does not fray and, like jersey, is sewn with an elastic stitch or overlock machine.
• The seams become particularly elastic if you sew them with bulk yarn.
• Because the lycra is cross-stretch and bi-elastic, the pattern can be rotated 90° if necessary and does not necessarily have to be cut along the grain.
• To prevent the fabric from being stretched unintentionally when sewing, it helps to reduce the pressure on the sewing foot.
• For sewing, we recommend a fine Jersey needle.
• 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
