Hemming stretchy knits : The extreme stretchiness of soft and stretchy knits, such as jersey and lingerie tricot, makes hemming troublesome and results often far from satisfactory. Along the edge of a turned-up hem, for example, it can cause unsightly sagging and rippling. Fusing... can relieve this to some extent. Better alternatives are a narrow topstitched hem... or a rolled hem... 1, record 1, English, - stretchy%20knit

Ourlet des tricots extensibles: L'extensibilité des jerseys souples de laine ou de soie complique singulièrement la confection de l'ourlet: cette extensibilité est souvent cause du fléchissement peu esthétique de celui-ci. Ajouter une pièce thermocollante permet d'obvier à cette difficulté. Ou, encore, faire une surpiqûre sur l'ourlet ..., ou un ourlet rouleauté. 1, record 1, French, - tricot%20extensible

La machine à tricoter se compose de rangées d'aiguilles, ou fontures, et du chariot qui, par un mouvement de va-et-vient, exécute le tricot. À simple fonture, elle ne permet que le point de jersey et ses dérivés, à double fonture, que le point de côtes. Les machines les plus perfectionnées sont à automatisme intégral avec un sélecteur électronique d'aiguilles en fonction d'un programme déterminé. 1, record 2, French, - machine%20%C3%A0%20tricoter
