CUTTER'S MUST

  • From main fabric:
  • 1. BACK PANEL – 2 QTY
  • 2. Upper FRONT PANEL – 2 QTY
  • 3. Lower FRONT PANEL – 1 QTY
  • 4. Yoke - 2 QTY
  • 5. SLEEVE – 2 QTY

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are sewn with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim SEAM ALLOWANCES to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also sew pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread serger.
