In the wardrobe / Re: Stretchy fabric novice
« on: Today at 08:59:33 »Thank you all very much for the tips. I do have a twin needle, but have never used it, so I’d be wary of using it on my first attempt. I’ll have a go with the zigzag type stitches and see how I get on.
If you need to cut 4 inches off the tee shirt you will have enough fabric to try out the various options and then use teh one you like best.
If the stitch you choose has width to it a single turn will be sufficient. Either turn a very accurate hem and carefully sew over the edge of the fabric (not at all easy if you are stitching from the right side) or turn a more generous hem, stitch so that there is a small amount of fabric beyond the sewing and and then trim as close as you can to the stitching; use duckbill scissors if you have them and be careful not to cut into the stitching.
