Working with stretch fabric can be tricky, even for experienced sewers. This hands-on class is designed to give you a working knowledge of sewing with stretch material, without the pressure of completing a full garment. Instead, you'll learn helpful techniques and tips to build your confidence and skill. Participants will bring their own pattern and fabric.
This is not a garment construction class. Instead, you'll learn:
- How to identify and prepare different types of stretch fabrics
- Cutting techniques and tools for stretch
- How to read patterns made for stretch or adapt patterns for it
- What stitches to use on domestic sewing machines
- When to use overlockers or twin needles
- How to avoid puckering, stretching, and warping when sewing
- Hemming and finishing techniques for a professional look
