HOW TO SEW CREPE FABRIC?

Crepe fabrics are used to make dresses, jumpsuits and trousers. One reason is the appeal, versatility and durability of the fabric and the ease with which it can be sewn. If you are an experienced sewist or a hobbyist on your first sewing project this is not a challenging fabric to work with and can easily be machine sewn.

During cutting, we recommend you weight the fabric and pin it closely and cut with a well-sharpened pair of scissors. 

For sewing, choose a new 70 or 60 needle. Finish the edges with a hem or use the technique of your choice to preserve the quality of the fabric. When passing under the pressing foot, the fabric can also be pinned to paper for support it it is a thin fabric. 

No need to spend hours looking for a quality crepe fabric. Bridal Fabrics offers the best of crepe at affordable prices.
