Fleece is a great fabric to work with because it doesn’t fray and it’s easy to sew. When sewing fleece, you want to use a needle that is made for sewing through thicker fabrics. I like to use a size 90\/14 needle. You will also want to use a walking foot on your sewing machine. A walking foot helps to feed the fabric through evenly. I also like to use pins when sewing with fleece. When you are sewing two pieces of fleece together, you want to line up the edges and then pin them together. Start sewing at the top of the fabric and then sew all the way down. I usually sew with a straight stitch and a 1\/4 inch seam allowance. When you get to the end of the fabric, you can either back stitch or tie a knot to secure the thread.<\/p>\n

To sew fleece fabric together using a sewing machine, start by threading the machine with thread that matches the color of the fabric. Then, set the machine to a straight stitch and sew along the edge of the fabric, keeping the seam allowance at about 1\/2 inch. When you get to the end of the fabric, backstitch to secure the seam.<\/p>\n

How do you sew a fleece on a regular sewing machine? <\/h2>\n

Polyester thread is a great choice for seams that need to stretch, because it has good elasticity. A small zigzag or straight stitch will give the most flexibility. A longer stitch length will also help the seam to stretch more.<\/p>\n

As I said before, ironing and fleece is not such a good idea, so utilize either a fusible stabilizer or another method to ensure your fabric is smooth.<\/p>\n

Polyester all purpose thread is your best choice for sewing with fleece. It is strong and resilient enough to hold up to the weight of fleece and to accommodate fleece’s “give”. Fleece has a natural 2-way “give” which causes high-stress seams to break easily.<\/p>\n

There are many BERNINA presser feet that can be used to sew fleece, depending on the project. BERNINA Overlockers also do a great job with fleece.<\/p>\n

Why does my sewing machine skip stitches when sewing fleece? <\/h2>\n

Sewing machine needles can become dull after about 7 hours of sewing, and a needle that’s dull, bent, or simply old can easily make your stitches skip. At the same time, make sure that your needle is in all the way, if you don’t loosen the screw all the way before you insert, then your needle may be too low.<\/p>\n

Fleece is a 100% polyester fabric with a fluffy nap. It is used for warm clothing and is a cheaper alternative to natural wool. Because it does not fray and has minimal stretch, it is easy to sew. While fleece is thick it is lighter than wool and thus is comfortable to wear.<\/p>\n

Does fleece need to be washed before sewing? <\/h2>\n

Fleece is a type of fabric that is made from Polyester, which means that it is not as susceptible to shrinking, fading, and running as other types of fabric. This makes it a great choice for clothing that you want to last for a long time.<\/p>\n

If you’re having trouble getting your needle to be sharp enough, try this tip: put in a really sharp needle! This should help you get the results you’re looking for.<\/p>\n

Does fleece unravel when cut <\/h3>\n

Fleece does not fray easily, so neatening seams is not essential, but you can neaten with a regular or three step zigzag stitch, if required. However, you may find because of the stretchy nature of fleece, that the fabric edge will curl and wave.<\/p>\n

The fleece should be set at a tension that is slightly higher than the recommended thread width (8 to 10 stitches per inch). It can be helpful to decrease pressure foot pressure if possible. If the fleece is very thick, it may be helpful to set pressure foot onto seam allowance about ¼ inch and start stitching.
