Be sure to use a jersey or stretch needle when sewing knit fabrics. If you would like to sew with a straight stitch, an elastic thread, such as Seraflex by Mettler, is suitable.

For sewing with an all-purpose thread, such as Seralon by Mettler, it is best to use an elastic stitch, such as a narrow or wide zigzag stitch.

Materials & Requirements

Needle:: Jersey needle^*
Yarn:: stretch sewing thread^*

Jersey is a soft, elastic fabric that is super comfy and adapts beautifully to the body. It is stretchy, usually lightweight and feels pleasantly smooth on the skin.

Typical of jersey: it moves with you, which makes it perfect for everyday clothing. Depending on the material, it can be thin and airy or somewhat firmer.

When sewing, jersey likes to curl up a little at the edges, but with a few tricks it works well. It is ideal for T-shirts, dresses, sleepwear or kids' clothing.

In short: soft, stretchy and a true feel-good fabric for every day.

Romanit jersey^*

Machine:: Straight stitchBackstitch functionstretch seamOverlock seam
Iron-on patch:: Vlieseline H609

Needle:: Jersey needle^*
Yarn:: All-purpose sewing thread^*

Romanit jersey is a somewhat thicker, stable jersey fabric that is super comfortable to wear. It is elastic but not as “floppy” as regular jersey – more structured and nicely smooth. As a result, it drapes softly without clinging to every little curve.

The fabric usually feels cool and soft on the skin and hardly creases. So it is perfect for comfortable yet smart clothing such as dresses, skirts, blazers or trousers. Romanit jersey is pretty relaxed to sew because it does not curl as much.

In short: as comfy as jersey, but a bit smarter and neater in look.
