Sewing with Knits
(Recommended for members with some sewing experience)
The key to sewing with knits is to understand that the fabric is not woven, but rather knit with a series of small loops that has stretch and requires patterns suitable for stretchy fabric. Members are strongly encouraged to have at least one year of sewing experience before exploring this project.
