Fabric Selection

Woven or Knit:
The difference 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 stit-
ches. A knit fabric is elastic. As a ge ne ral rule,
enter Woven for stable fabrics that have no
stretch and Stretch for fabrics that are elastic.
