Frequently asked questions
What can I sew with this rib knit?
Fabric Depot recommends it for activewear, blouses, dancewear and dresses. It is light-to-medium weight.
Does it stretch?
Yes: four-way stretch. Use a stretch or ballpoint needle and a stretch stitch or serger so seams move with the fabric.
Is it see-through?
No, it is opaque.
How do I care for it? Should I pre-wash?
Care: Machine Washable. Synthetics shrink little, but a pre-wash removes finishing residue.

Neckbands, cuffs and waistbands, plus fitted tops and dresses; the ribs give strong crosswise stretch and recovery.
