Sewing on Lycra Knit
I’ve never met a piece of fabric I couldn’t tame until a great looking piece of 100% Lycra® knit walked into my sewing room.
Pre-shrinking can be eliminated here, since unlike other knits, 100% Lycra® does not shrink.
It wasn’t difficult to tell the right and wrong side the fabric because if you pull on the grain, the fabric rolls to the right side. Cutting wasn’t an issue either since my fabric shears cut through this knit like butter.

love the lessons, they have help me have a more professional result in my sewing.
It is nice to know that I am not the only person who struggled to tame the Lycra monster.
A monster indeed, Jeanne. I never knew Lycra could be so “challenging” either, but it is such a great, couldn’t-live-without-it type fabric!
