Tips to sew viscose jersey with ease
Viscose jersey is a soft and light fabric with spectacular drape, but it also requires special care when sewing with it. With these tips, you’ll achieve an impeccably professional finish on your garments.
- Use a jersey or stretch needle to avoid damaging the fabric.
- Sew using a zigzag stitch to maintain the fabric’s flexibility.
- Cut with a rotary cutter for greater precision and avoid stretching the fabric when manipulating it.
- Iron at low temperature and use a cloth to avoid leaving marks on the fabric.
- If you use an overlocker, adjust the differential feed so that the fabric doesn’t stretch out.
- Sew your hems using a twin needle for a professional finish.
- Steam or wash the fabric before cutting to avoid shrinking later.
