Fabric Selection
Woven or Knit
The difference between woven and knit
fabric is the way the threads are put
together. Woven fabrics are made of two
thread systems, warp lengthwise and weft
crosswise that intersect at right angles. A
knit fabric is made of one thread system
with interlaced stitches. A knit fabric usually
has stretch.
As a general rule, enter Woven for stable
fabrics that have no stretch and Stretch for
fabrics that have stretch.
