You probably have been pushing aside working with ‘lower & sew’ knit materials since you lack the drafting & stitching experience, we’re right here to assist!
A standard mistake made by beginner designers/sewers is to imagine that any garment sample could be made in any cloth, whether or not or not it’s a woven or knit. As an teacher at FIT for 12 years, I encountered many college students considering that it might work, solely to strive it and fail. The frustration of studying the outcomes of a sample you drafted for a woven cloth, however lower in a knit, shouldn’t be solely disappointing however the garment is unwearable,.
For this reason, after I began UoF in 2008, I made it a precedence to create a whole sequence on working with lower & sew knits, starting with our classes, Introduction to Knit Materials and Knit Material Rules. These classes cowl all you have to find out about knit cloth construction, the science of stretch ratio, the right way to draft a set of knit slopers from measurements and the right way to draft a sequence of knit clothes, utilizing these slopers.
You wouldn’t imagine what number of compliments we proceed to obtain from our subscribers ever since we launched our knit cloth lectures and lower & sew drafting classes
