✂️ Tips to sew swim fabric
If this is your first time sewing swim fabric, here are some tips to enjoy the process:
- Use a stretch or jersey needle to avoid damaging the fabric.
- Sew using a zigzag stitch to maintain the fabric’s flexibility.
- Avoid pulling the fabric while sewing so that it does not lose its shape.
- If you’re using an overlock, you’ll achieve more professional finishes, but it is not essential.
