What is the Comparison between knitted and woven fabric?
A "knit" fabric will stretch, either side to side and/or up to down, but a "woven" fabric will not stretch.
Can bondaweb be used on shiny stretch fabric?
While Bondaweb can be used on shiny stretch fabric, it is not recommended you do so, as the results may not be as good due to the fabric's elasticity.
How would you cut fabric to give a garment the most stretch?
That will depend on the fabric. Some fabrics stretch in only one direction while other fabrics stretch in both directions (like polyester double knit). You will need to check your fabric to determine the maximum stretch.
Does polyester and cotton fabric flexible or stretch in nature?
no it is not
Does cotton fabric stretch?
Yes. That's why fat people can get into it.
Where is the greatest amount of stretch in a woven piece of fabric?
diagonally
Does jacquard stretch?
Jacquard fabric itself does not inherently stretch, as it is typically made from woven fibers that create intricate patterns. However, some jacquard fabrics may contain elastic fibers or blends with materials like spandex, which can provide a degree of stretch. The extent of stretch largely depends on the specific composition of the fabric. Always check the fabric content for information on its elasticity.
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%.
What does "cut on the bias" mean and how does it affect the drape and stretch of the fabric?
"Cutting on the bias" means cutting fabric at a 45-degree angle to the straight grain. This technique allows the fabric to have more stretch and drape, making it more fluid and flexible compared to fabric cut along the straight grain.
What fabric do they use for soccer jerseys?
Two way stretch jersey.
What are the benefits of cutting fabric on the bias, and how does cutting on the bias affect the drape and stretch of the material?
Cutting fabric on the bias allows for more stretch and drape in the material. This is because cutting on the bias means cutting at a 45-degree angle to the grain of the fabric, which allows the fabric to stretch and drape more easily. The benefits of cutting on the bias include creating garments that fit better, have more movement, and drape beautifully on the body.
How can i stretch viscose?
To stretch viscose fabric, you can dampen it slightly with water or a fabric spray, then gently pull and stretch the material by hand while it's wet. Alternatively, you can use a steam iron on a low setting, holding it a few inches above the fabric and lightly steaming while stretching. Always be cautious, as excessive heat or pulling can damage the fibers. After stretching, allow the fabric to air dry in its new shape.
