Description
This cotton jersey is a circular knit: it does not fray at the cut edge and suits beginners as well. 210 g/m² at 145 cm wide: calculate your yardage from the width, not from the pattern alone. Material: 95 % cotton and 5 % elastane.
A fabric in Dark Blue is undemanding in daily use and suits almost every second colour. Knits stretch — so sewing them calls for a ballpoint needle and a stretch stitch or an overlocker. Before cutting, a look at the care symbols on the article pays off.
What Cotton Jersey in Dark Blue is suitable for
- dresses and skirts
- children's clothing

Frequently asked questions
How much fabric do I need?
That depends on the pattern and the fabric width. As a rule of thumb an adult shirt takes about twice the body length, less on wide goods. Add seam allowances and cuffing.
Do I need an overlocker?
Not necessary, but convenient. Everything works with a stretch stitch on a domestic machine — it only takes longer, since sewing and finishing stay two steps.
Which needle do I need?
A jersey or stretch needle with a ball point. It pushes the loops aside instead of piercing them. A universal needle leaves small holes that later run into ladders.
Why does the cut edge curl?
Because knits are made of loops that relax when cut. That is normal and no fault. While cutting it helps to keep the fabric flat and to use a rotary cutter.
