Linen Fabric

Every sewing project calls for different skills, tools and fabrics. Get these right and you’re likely to end up with a great-looking garment or piece. But it’s not always easy to know how to tackle the wide range of fabrics available. Some, like knit fabric can be harder to sew with a straight stitch and to keep in shape, thanks to its natural elasticity.

Chances are at some point in a sewing project you've suddenly found your fabric bunching and crumpling, or getting snagged up in your thread or needle. Fabric and seam puckering can be really annoying when you're sewing. Puckers can also appear after sewing, once a garment or project is washed. There are several causes of puckering, and once you understand these you can not only resolve the issue but also prevent it happening again.
