Knitted fabrics for sewing workshops

We supply sewing workshops with knitted fabrics for series production: jersey, interlock, mesh, jacquard and tricot. The catalogue lists over 250 items, each with its composition, weight and width. Before we propose anything, we ask what you sew and on which machines.

What only shows when you sew

These are the three things sewing workshops ask about most. All of them come to light only once the material is already on the cutting table.

A knit looks one way and sews another

You can look at and handle a swatch from a sample book, but only on the machine do you see whether the material slips from under the presser foot, curls at the edge or makes the seam wave. This usually shows with the first batch, when the lay is already cut and the deadline agreed with the client. That’s why we always suggest sew-testing a sample on your own equipment first.

Width translates directly into waste

The marker is prepared for a specific material width. A narrower delivery means a new cutting plan and more offcuts. That’s why we give the width before quoting and ask what you are counting on.

The next delivery has to be the same

Components from two different deliveries often end up in a single garment. If the material has a different hand, a slightly different shade or reacts differently to pressing, it shows on the finished piece. In series production, consistency can matter more than the price per metre.

Material groups in the catalogue

The catalogue is organised by knit structure and construction, because that’s how people most often look for sewing material. For every item we give the composition, weight and width according to the manufacturer’s data.

We are a trading company. We source materials from manufacturing partners and make sure you receive the right one.

Where the material goes in a sewing workshop

The three types of production where our customers use the most metres.

Sports and performance wear

T-shirts, leggings, sweatshirts and training sets. The material has to stretch in both directions and recover its shape, and it must not wave at the finishes. Hems and bindings are where you see first that a knit was chosen without a trial.

Lingerie and swimwear

Products worn directly against the skin, where the seam has to be flat and must not chafe. Tricot and mesh knits with a smooth face work well here, chosen to suit how the edges are finished.

Linings, inserts and made-to-order components

Parts you don’t see in the finished product, yet they determine whether the garment breathes and hangs well. This is also where costs are easiest to reduce without compromising the product.

What our role is

Material is chosen for a specific product and a specific set of machines. That’s why, before we recommend an item, we ask what you sew, how you finish the edges and what width your cutting plan assumes. Only then do we send a sample to sew-test.

Frequently asked questions from sewing workshops

Yes, it’s one of the most common requests. A sample or the item code from your current supplier’s invoice is enough. We compare composition, weight, width and knit structure, and send the proposed equivalent for sew-testing before you change anything in your cutting plan.

Yes — and with knitted fabric it’s really worth it, because its behaviour on the machine tells you the most. Just tell us which item you’re interested in and what product it’s for.

We are a trading company and source materials from manufacturing partners. We don’t have our own knitting mill. We give composition, weight and width exactly according to the manufacturer’s data.

We give the width for every item before quoting, because the cutting plan depends on it. If your cutting plan is based on a specific value, just let us know — we’ll choose a variant to match that exact width.

Yes, the catalogue has a separate group of sublimation materials. Just give us the printing technique and the type of product, and we’ll suggest which substrate will work.

The catalogue has such a group. If your customer requires confirmation of the raw material’s origin with a specific document, just let us know — we’ll check what the manufacturer of that item can provide.

Yes, on request we provide documents issued by the manufacturer. Just tell us what confirmation your purchasing department needs.

Yes. Stretch knitted fabric for wrapping foam and for layers beneath upholstery has its own page — stretch fabrics. If you also sew for furniture manufacturers, both orders can be handled by a single supplier.

We’ll match the material to your production

A short note is all we need: what you sew, how you finish the edges and roughly how much material you need. We’ll send back a proposal with specifications and agree the details of the sample.
