Description
Functional jersey is built for movement: highly elastic, stable in shape and quick-drying. 127 g/m² at 155 cm wide: calculate your yardage from the width, not from the pattern alone. Material: 100 % polyester.
A fabric in Mint/Salmon carries pattern well while staying a quiet ground. 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. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.
What Functional Jersey in Mint/Salmon is suitable for
- leggings and trousers
- children's bedding
- cuffs and finishes

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.
