Just Add Jersey Fabric – Essentials Haberdashery Kit

Essentials Haberdashery Kit For Jersey Fabric

We have used our years of experience in garment and dressmaking to select for you a curated set of essential haberdashery and notions for successful sewing with jersey fabric. In this haberdashery kit, we have used only the best quality supplies from Prym, Schmetz and Vilene. The haberdashery kit includes:

1 Reel – Gutermann Maraflex Thread, White 150m. This is a stretch elastic polyester thread, perfect for sewing with stretch and knitted jersey fabrics. With a seam stretch of up to 80 %, Maraflex moves with the stretch of knitted woven fabrics. It can do this without compromising the quality of the seam

1 Packet (5 Needles) – Schmetz Stretch Sewing Machine Needles, Size 75/11. The Stretch Sewing Machine Needle has a medium ball point with a short and narrow eye. These points, along with a deep scarf, reduces the possibility of skipped stitches. 

5 Metres – Vilene Flexible Seam Tape, White. A lightweight, fusible woven tape. This tape has a stretch and is well suited for jersey and stretch fabrics. This tape prevents warping and fraying. It can easily be applied to curved shapes.

1 Box –Prym Yellow Glass Head Dressmaking Pins. These steel pins are extra long and fine  but strong. These makes them ideal for using on stretch fabrics – long enough to hold the fabric as it moves and fine enough not to catch the fibres of the fabric. The glass head means they are easy to see, easy to get hold off and won’t melt if you do iron over them!
