Working with crepe can be tricky for beginners due to the slippery nature of the textured fabric. We recommend the following when sewing crepe:

• Sewing Needle: You’ll want ballpoint or stretch needles specifically made for stretch fabrics.
• Thread: Polyester thread that matches your crepe knit fabric is a good choice for this material.
• Pins and Clips: Use ballpoint pins or sewing clips to keep this slippery fabric in place as you sew.
