Sewing tips

• Jersey needle, SUK ballpoint/stretch thickness: 75/80. 
• Sew with low tension on the top thread of the sewing machine and a small stitch so that when the seams are stretched, the stitching does not break.
• Use zigzag stitches to preserve the fabric’s flexibility
• Avoid pulling the fabric while sewing to prevent the seams from giving way.
• Do not iron.
• If you have an overlock machine, ideal for all types of seams, adjust the differential feed until you see that the fabric is not pulling.
  
• Steam or wash before cutting and sewing.
