Y'know, I've sewn a few knits, and read all about interfacing them and stabilizing the shoulders, etc., etc., but I never do it. I guess I don't know what I'm doing with knits, but everything seems to stay in shape properly! *knockonwood*Tia Dianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-271529430356965882013-02-12T09:42:49.655-05:002013-02-12T09:42:49.655-05:00Ha!

But for the areas where I wanted stability before sewing the seam (ie: setting in the sleeve and applying the neckline facing) without adding bulk, I used the fusible tricot, which is lighter than the elastic.
