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 ...

CONT

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.
