Discover the wonders of Ponte! This structured, low-stretch knit is thicker than traditional jersey and double knit, but with the same clean look, offering a beautiful drape that’s perfect for creating stylish and flattering garments. Ideal for everything from chic dresses to tailored tops and comfy pants, Ponte knit is a favorite among sewists for its ease of use and polished finish. Whether you're looking to enhance your wardrobe or experiment with new techniques, Ponte knit fabric is a fantastic choice. Dive into our tips and project ideas, and see how this versatile fabric can elevate your sewing game. Tips for working with Ponte: - Even though Ponte is a more stable knit than jersey or sweater knits you still want to make sure not to pull on it while sewing to avoid wavy seams
- Make sure to use a ballpoint needle to avoid skipped stitches
- Consider sizing up if making a knit pattern that isn't specifically for Ponte
- Non-patterned Ponte doesn't have a right and wrong side - make sure to pick a right side and label your pattern pieces when cutting out so you don't sew anything together wrong
