Easy Baby Hat Sewing Pattern/ Sew in 4 Steps

Guidelines for Sewing with Knits.

• Spread out your knit fabric on a large flat surface for cutting. This prevents it from getting stretched and distorted.
• Secure the pattern pieces by using ballpoint pins or pattern weights. This would keep the knit fabric underneath from moving and would keep it in place.
• Use polyester thread or a cotton-polyester thread to allow for stretch.
• A ball-point needle is a must for sewing with knits.
• Use a narrow zigzag stitch for necklines, armholes, and hems. You may use a straight stitch for the side seams. Try stitching on a double layer of scrap before sewing on your actual fabric.
• Take care not to stretch the fabric while sewing. Hold the fabric up to keep it flat near the machine. If you have an option in your machine to reduce the pressure of the presser foot, that would be great too.
• Since knit fabrics do not ravel, you don’t need a serger. But if you need a professional finish and you have just an ordinary machine, you may go ahead and use the zigzag for the finish.

 

• *All the fabrics used here are of 58- inches width. You may require extra if your fabric is not as wide as this.
