Sewing with Knit Fabrics For jersey knit fabrics, we use and recommend Gutermann Sew-All Thread, a top quality 100% polyester thread available in a huge range of colours to match your fabric. 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.
