If your pattern is sized for a high stretch (50% stretch) fabric, you can still use it, but you may need to run the garment in. Casino Knit is two way stretch, by which we mean the fabric stretches in one direction only, from selvedge to selvedge. If your pattern is sized for a four way stretch fabric, you can still use it.

You will need stretch needles for sewing knit fabrics. Use Schmetz Stretch needles – 75/11 on fine knit fabrics, and 90/14 on other knit fabrics. Start each new project with a fresh needle, especially if the fabric contains cotton or wool. Blunt needles can leave holes on the stitching line. Vliesofix Bondaweb Tape is a must if you want to get more professional looking hems and neck edges. If you need more help, visit our sewing with jersey knit fabrics page.
