Supplies You Need with Tricot Fabric

• Thread: Polyester thread is a great choice when it comes to tricot fabric due to its excellent stretching capabilities.
• Sewing Needle: Ballpoint needles help prevent snagging when it comes to stretch fabric.
• Pins, clips, and pin cushion: Fine ballpoint pins or sewing clips are necessary for keeping your tricot fabric in place while sewing. A pin cushion provides a place to safely store your pins.
• Scissors or Rotary Cutter: Since tricot is stretchy, sharp scissors or a rotary cutter are important for cutting clean lines.
• Seam Ripper: LIke with any sewing project, a seam ripper is great for correcting mistakes while sewing tricot fabric.
• Iron and Ironing Board: Keep your tricot fabric aligned and crisp while sewing with an iron. Keep it on a low heat to avoid damaging the fabric.
