Compression Fabric: Health and Fitness

Compression fabric plays a key role in health and fitness apparel and accessories. It adds pressure that offers targeted muscle support. Additionally, compression results in improved circulation, reduced swelling, and faster recovery after exercise. Compression fabric can also contribute to joint support, thermoregulation, and posture correction. We recommend meeting with a health professional to discuss the specific benefits of wearing your compression fabric.  

Alternatives to Compression Fabric

Depending on its intended use, there are many alternatives to compression fabric to consider. Check out moisture-wicking or neoprene fabric. These options may not offer the same health benefits as compression fabric, but they can provide similar sporty attributes. 

How to Sew with Compression Fabric

Due to its stretchy nature, you’ll want to be extra careful when sewing compression fabric. Use a stretch or ballpoint needle on your sewing machine, reduce bulk with a narrow seam allowance, use a serger to prevent fraying, and pin and baste very carefully to avoid snags. Use a stretch stitch on your machine if possible while holding the fabric taught.
