Ever got frustrated when sewing stretchy and jersey fabrics? Then this session is just right for you!
This is a 2.5 hour workshop covering the basic principles of handling jersey fabrics, covering choice of equipment, getting your machine set up properly to make perfect seams, making double stitched hems, shell and lettuce hems working on a wide range of stretch fabrics supplied as part of your tuition fee.
The aim of this introductory workshop is to give you the confidence to select and use the most appropriate tools and stitches on your domestic sewing machine for sewing on a variety of different types of jersey dress fabrics. Please be advised we will not be working with an overlocker on this workshop.A pack containing a wide selection of differing weights of jersey will be provided for you to work on during this session. We will not be making a garment or an object, the time will be spent of getting a good quality stitch for general machine sewing like seams, darts, hems, and decorative top stitching using your machine’s built-in stretch stitches on this diverse range of materials.You will need to change the needle in your machine during the session and will probably need to adjust the tension and possibly stitch lengths depending on the weight of jersey you are working on.Please bring the following items with you:
