There is a common myth going around that sewing knit fabric is hard. Well, we're here to disprove those rumors and put you on the road to endless t-shirts, maxi dresses, and yoga pants.
Sure, sewing jersey and spandex is a little different than sewing 100% cotton, but with a few tips and tricks, you'll be a pro. After you watch our video, go out and try making a simple tank top or raglan. You'll be a DIY fashionista (or fashionister?) in no time! By the way, Lyrca, Spandex, and Elastane are all the same things with different names.

Ah, I wish we'd had youtube when I started sewing 20 years ago...I avoided jersey fabric for years (till I could afford a serger...) - now everyone just about everywhere can get all the information they need. I still marvel at it sometimes!

This is a great video, I haven't been sewing regularly for a really long time, thank you for your concise presentation.
Not just helpful, you covered pretty well ALL of the basics in one short video! Rock on!!
Glad it was helpful!
One of the best "sewing tip" videos I've seen! Every point was useful, and there was no wasted time with extra chatter. Thank you for making such an excellent video.
Loved this no-nonsense, no-waffle, perfectly paced, very informative, well-presented Tutorial. Thank you so much xxx
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching!
I am new to sewing and my machine eats everything lol im so glad i found you coz i was going crazy ... thanks for the tips :D
I nominate this vid as the most helpful how to handle knits on UA-cam. I’ve been browsing all day so I feel quite qualified to make this nomination. 👍🏾
3:53 Yep! Oh my gosh I wish I had this video 43 years ago when I first started sewing!
I have been a quilter for a hundred years and only now started sewing on knits. You are saving my life! Such simple and great hints. Thanks!
Omg, I laughed SOOO HARD when you called the serger a “bucket of crazy” with the horns and tail. 😂😂😂 Too funny.
I just started sewing. I’d love your tutorials simple but not condescending informative but not overloading and very easy to pause and take notes on all of your tips and tricks thank you keep them coming. I think we’re gonna be friends :-)
Serger = bucket-of-crazy...HAHA so true! and slow as molasses uphill. Love it! You are a seamstress after my own heart. Thank you for these tips. Most I learn "back in the olden days" when learning to sew as a kid from my mom [1961-ish], but with "modern" fibers, notions & time-saving shortcuts, sewing is much less painful/tedious than ever. But it is not cheap.
UNBELIEVABLE !!! Never knew that my sewing machine had these stitches! Always stayed away from stretch materials! Invaluable information!!! Thank you so very much, Sara!!!!!
THANK YOU!! I can’t tell you how many videos I’ve watched trying to learn how to sew Jersey knits better. This is the only one that went over every single specific question I had. And hand basting before machine sewing curves? Genius. I can’t wait to try my project now.
You've answered all the issues I was having with my stretch fabric issue. Thank you :)
Thank you! Totally explains why my maxi skirt had issues with bunching and seam breakage! You are awesome! Thanks for sharing!!!
Oh my gosh, I've looked at a number of somewhat inadequate tutorials, but this one is competent and has some breadth of information!
Thanks for the information. I just finished cutting out a simple T-shirt pattern and was wondering about all that was presented - needles, settings, etc., now I feel more confident!
This was extremely helpful. Great idea about the muslin fabric on the table. It's a simple solution but I didn't even think to do it. Lol.
Oh. my. goodness. This is THE most helpful sewing video I have ever watched! Knits drive me crazy, but so many garments I want to make are best made with it. Thank you, thank you for saving my sanity!!
Excellent video! I had been shy about working with knits, though there was so much I wanted to do, and I didn't want to buy a surger. Thanks so much, for this, especially the breakdown of the different types of knits, the importance of planning for the garment stretch, and the advantages and disadvantages of the different types of sitiches. I am now very excited about tackling knits, and will probably use this video as a reference.
I've been sewing quilts for 20 years and now I'm trying knits again. Machines and fabrics have changed a lot and I was so frustrated with the lack of info on which stitch to use with knits on my new mid range machine. I spent hours, yes, hours online after my "manual" was mum on the topic. I'm so glad I found you! Best info! Thanks!
you have saved my life today. now I can confidently complete with what I have started and have a professional finished look project.
Thank you for a thorough explanation of the different types of stitches, and stabilising methods.
Excellent tips, love the stable weights..really , good thinking...use what you have
Woow! Straight to the fact and No crap very useful 👌💗💗💗
love the humor! Thank you for the tips!
Thank you! I've been sewing a long time, but every time I've tried to jump into a simple knit project, it's cause to all my stress, haha. I want to make a pair of leggings and will definitely use your video to help with pointers in doing so!
Thank you,thank so,so much detail,you covered every aspect! I am making a swing out of Lycra for my child to sit and swing in,which is the safest stitch to use , he is 60 lbs and will be bouncing around a lot!
I NEEDED THIS! Thank you! I was going crazy trying to get my fabric smooth enough to lay out my pattern.
Glad to know that someone else uses starch for knits. I also use it in slippery fabrics such as chiffon. Works wonders.
You are truly a marvel. You get to the point and have excellent examples. Thank so much!
I'm glad I found this video! I've been trying to sew some REALLY stretchy velveteen fabric in my latest project and it's been a disaster. All I can say is I am thankful to have a seam ripper! lol Thanks for the tips.
I've been searching EVERYWHERE to try and find a way to keep my machine from eating my fabric!!! THANK YOU!!!! literally so excited!!!!
An excellent and concise introduction to sewing with knits. Thank you.

I just found your video doing a search spandex fabric and it has been very helpful, I learned so much in just simple 9min super informative video, you are great at explaining. I am going to adventure in trying to do appliques on spandex fabrics for a crazy and kinda challenging costume I came out with for Halloween, and now I know what to expect and specially how "not to" damage the fabric. THANK YOUS so much!!!
love your tutorials and helped me immensely
Thank you for the tips!
This is one of the BEST videos.
Ty. ❤️🙏
Sarah, awesome video..
Really helpful video! I’ve been too scared to use some cotton knit fabric that I bought for a dress (scared about stretching the side seams) so this has given me more confidence. Thank you.
You are the best! This video was so helpful ❤ subscribed x
Thank you, you've made it so easy to understand
This was helpful!Thanks for the great tips. 👍😊
AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!
Thank you so much.
Wow, what I don't know about sewing could fill volumes! Thanks for this, I never would have thought to use Ball point needles AND I have a bunch of brand new needles of every sort and style that came in a huge cookie tin notions I picked up at a yard sale for next to nothing!
It really would have sucked if I did this project and then found out I should have changed my needle and to not use the straight stitch I was going to use with the presser foot tension right where it is! 😨😳😭😭😭😭😵
This is not the first time you've saved me!
Thank you!
