Suggested fabric type
- We suggest stable knits such as mid- to heavyweight cotton jersey and interlock, French terry, sweatshirt fleece, ponte, and double knits. Striped fabrics are ideal for a classic Breton look, but solids work just as well.
SUPPLIES
- Fusible knit interfacing (note you may not be able to interface textured knits like fleece + terry)
- Machine needle for knits
- Thread in a matching color
- Optional: Double needle for topstitching
