A typical mistake made by beginner designers/sewers is to imagine that any garment sample might be made in any material, 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 may work, solely to attempt it and fail. The frustration of studying the outcomes of a sample you drafted for a woven material, however reduce in a knit, will not be solely disappointing however the garment is unwearable,.
That is why, once I began UoF in 2008, I made it a precedence to create a complete collection on working with reduce & sew knits, starting with our classes, Introduction to Knit Materials and Knit Material Rules. These classes cowl all you have to learn about knit material construction, the science of stretch ratio, draft a set of knit slopers from measurements and draft a collection of knit clothes, utilizing these slopers.
