Sewing Jersey Fabrics
- Always use a stretch or ball point needle. These prevent skipped stitches and ‘runs’ or ‘ladders’ forming in the fabric.
- Change the needles frequently. Some say after 8 hours of sewing.
- Start sewing approx 0.5 cm in from beginning of seams to avoid puckering. You can then backstitch back to the edge.
- Use a stretchy sewing thread such as polyester thread.
How to look after Jersey
- Wash jersey using a cool wash. Don’t over-fill the washing machine as this will cause more creases and they won’t be clean well.
- Try to avoid mixing bright colours and whites in the wash, as the colours may bleed.
- It is better not to use a tumble dryer as this can make the fabric shrink.
- Gently pull your garment into the correct shape and dry flat. Or line-dry jersey – try to keep its original shape as much as possible.
- Dry on a hanger to avoid creases and preserve the shape.
- Turn inside out if drying outside to avoid bleaching by the sun.
- It may not be necessary to iron jersey garments if you need to – iron on the wrong side using steam if necessary.
