CUTTER'S MUST
- From main fabric:
- 1. BACK PANEL – 2 QTY
- 2. FRONT PANEL – 1 QTY with fold
Tip: When sewing knit fabrics, use a special elastic stitch or a narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim SEAM ALLOWANCES to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity. Alternatively, you can sew the pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine.
