What is stretch twill fabric?
Twill is fabric that has a diagonal pattern. It is actually woven in such a way as to create diagonal "ribs" in the fabric itself (not just colored diagonal lines). Think of cordoroy - that is a fabric with a vertical (up and down) pattern woven into it. Twill is diagonal weaving. If a twill fabric has extra "give" so that it can expand (stretch), it is a stretch twill. Stretch twill often refers to the fabric having a small percentage of lycra/spandex in it, usually 2-4%.
How do you use fusible interfacing in sewing?

What is knit and woven?
The difference in woven and knit garments lies in the construction of the fabrics. The knit garment is tougher and better able to withstand wear, but the woven garment has the ability to be more versatile in it's construction. The woven garment is the most common in clothing construction. Because of the ability to cut the material and shape it by means of sewing, it is far more popular in the garment industry. Material made by weaving is thinner as a rule and is not prone to raveling in handling. This allows the garment maker to cut shapes that are not ordinarily available to the knitted garment. Garments made by this method can be embellished by any number of add on items such as buttons, woven in patterns, or different types of lace and contrasting materials sewn to the fabric. The knitted garment is softer and more supple because its thread is treated differently. Knitted is produced by using needles to pull threads up through the preceding threads to produce fabric. Items such as sweaters and stockings are made by the knitting method and will readily "give" in response to pressure of the body. The disadvantage to the knit garment is that it is easily damaged by pulling of one thread in the garment which will distort or even destroy the garment. Examples of this problem is seen by the "run" in stockings and "pulls" in a sweater. For a more complete look at the material construction of the two methods, see the links.

What is fabric is Mormon underwear made of?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) can wear any type of underwear they choose. Those Mormon adults who have participated in an endowment ceremony in the Temple typically wear a garment under their outer clothing to remind them of the commitments they made in the ceremony. This garment is produced by the church and sometimes referred to by outsiders as 'Mormon underwear', however most Church members find this term offensive, preferring the term "Temple Garment" or "Priesthood Garment".The styles and fabrics of the garment have changed and been modernized over the years. While historically they were made from white muslin, modern elastic and more breathable materials have been adopted, but the fabric is almost always white. (They only exception is military personnel who are required to wear tan undershirts. They may special request tan-colored garments.) Currently, the garment is available in the following fabrics:Carinessa II - 91% microfiber polyester and 9% spandex. This blend creates a comfortable, stretchy fabric that allows the garment to stay in place better, move and stretch with the wearer, and conform to individual body styles. Outer clothing glides over Carinessa easily.Corban - a medium weight, dull-finish 100% nylon fabric. Corban has a smooth feel and is a good choice for men who prefer a garment that is almost frictionless under outer clothing. Corban is a durable nylon fabric; however, some find it warm.Cotton-Poly Jersey - a lightweight 50% cotton, 50% polyester blend fabric. This fabric has a cottony feel and good moisture absorption. The polyester in the fabric helps garments to retain their shape and reduces shrinkage compared with 100% cotton fabrics. This is a good all-weather fabric and works well for many people who prefer a cotton-feel garment.Cotton-Poly Rib Knit - a 50/50 cotton and polyester blend. Rib Knit has more stretch and durability than jersey fabric. A lightweight rib knit is used in women's unstructured chemise tops. A medium weight is used in men's garment bottoms.100% Cotton Jersey fabric - used for women's two-piece garments and men's crewneck tops. Cotton breathes well and absorbs moisture but does not dry quickly. These garments are for those who want an all-cotton garment or those who have particular need, medical, work-related, or otherwise, for a natural fiber garment.100% Cotton Rib Knit rib knit - used in men's one- and two-piece garments. Rib knit has more stretch and durability than jersey. Cotton breathes well and absorbs moisture but does not dry quickly. These garments are for those who want an all-cotton garment or those who have particular need, medical, work-related, or otherwise, for a natural fiber garment.Dri Lux - a soft and comfortable fabric that helps keep the body dry. It is made from Dri-release fibers, which wick moisture away from the body. This wicking ability is a characteristic of the fibers and will not wash out. Dri Lux fabric is comfortable in many environments and may be especially wearable where it is hot and humid. Dri Lux garments dry quickly and resist odor. They are made in jersey and rib knit fabrics.DriSilque - a high-filament count nylon fiber that makes into a lightweight fabric. DriSilque dries very quickly, is more breathable than other nylon fabrics, is quite stretchy, and has a silky feel while wearing. Its breathability is unusual in a nylon fabric and this makes it more comfortable in warm climates. (If you're hot and it clings, pull it away from your body, give it a shake and see how quickly it becomes comfortable again!) Garments made from DriSilque are more comfortable and wear better if the fit is fairly loose. DriSilque may not wear as long as other fabrics if worn snugly or cared for harshly. Feels similar to other silky/satin underwear fabrics.Nylon Mesh - a lightweight 100% nylon fabric. It has an open-weave construction that makes it a comfortable fabric for many people, including those in humid climates. This mesh fabric allows for easy evaporation and dries quickly. Like other nylon fabrics it reduces friction between garments and outer clothing. It is a durable nylon that does not stretch as readily as DriSilque. Similar to the feel of a basketball or football jersey.Thermax - a thermal, rib knit polyester fabric. The fibers are hollow so they trap body heat to warm the wearer. Thermax garments are made in only long sleeve tops and ankle length bottoms. Similar to the fabric used in regular thermal underwear.The fabric descriptions above come from the online store where Mormons may purchase their garments.
