Unsure how to sew the new knits so they’ll look great and fit
better than ready-to-wear? Knits for Real People helps readers sort
out the differences in fabric types and explains the fitting and
sewing techniques for each. Photographs of knit fashions from
McCall’s, Vogue, and Butterick pattern companies provide
inspiration throughout the book and illustrate the many types of
knits. The many techniques explained include: layout, cutting, and
marking; seaming techniques using sewing machines and sergers,
including the use of the differential feed feature; creative
embellishments, including piping, flounces, “peepers,” and
decorative serging; neckline and edge finishes, including bands,
collars, and bindings; sleeves, hems and closures; and fitting
techniques for tops, pants, and activewear. Knit fabrics are very
popular in fabric stores and this book helps people take advantage
by teaching how to fit patterns for this versatile material.
