Dear users, dear authors,
Many of the patterns here on Crazypatterns use jersey fabric. Not everyone here may know what that is or how to work with it effectively. If anyone has any information on this, please post it here.

Guten Morgen!

Jersey ist ein elastischer Stoff, der vorwiegend für Oberteile, Mütze, leichte Röcke und Hosen und Baby-/Kinderkleidung verwendet wird.
In der Regel wird Baumwoll-Jersey genutzt. Das sind meist Stoffe aus einem hohen Baumwollanteil (z.B. 95-97%) und einem kleinen Elastananteil (z.B. 3-5%) bestehen.
Es gibt auch Jersey aus 100% Baumwolle, der durch die spezielle Verarbeitung leicht elastisch ist.
Je höher der Elastananteil, desto elastischer der Stoff. Je elastischer der Stoff, desto "flutschiger" verhält er sich beim Verarbeiten.
Anfänger sollten mit einem geringeren Elastananteil "üben".
Zudem sollte man immer mit speziellen Jerseynadeln nähen, die eine abgerundete Spitze haben, sonst gibt es Löcher.
Außerdem soll mit einem Elastikstich (Zickzackstich z.B., wenn die Maschine keinen speziellen Jerseystich hat) nähen.

LG
