If you're new to sewing or haven't used double-knit fabrics before, then it might seem to be a difficult challenge. It's true that such fabrics can stretch or roll up at the edges during sewing but you shouldn't let that put you off: working with Ponte Roma fabric is much easier than working with other comparable jersey fabrics.

Ponte Roma fabric is ideally suited to creating structured garments, thanks to its enhanced firmness and stability. Of medium weight, the fabric strongly resists wrinkles and creases whether you choose to make dresses, skirts, trousers, jackets or whatever your imagination can inspire you with.

As with any new fabric, you should always wash and dry Ponte Roma fabric BEFORE you attempt to start cutting and sewing: this will ensure that any shrinkage is removed. Using a round-headed needle, work the fabric gently through the sewing machine without stretching or pulling.
