What makes Ponte De Roma different from other knit fabrics?

Ponte De Roma is distinguished by its double-knit construction, creating a more substantial fabric with better drape and recovery than single knits. The balanced blend of rayon, nylon, and spandex provides softness, durability, and just enough stretch for comfort without losing shape.

Which sewing needle should I use with Ponte De Roma fabric?

Use a ballpoint needle size 70/10 to 90/12 when sewing Ponte De Roma fabric. The rounded tip of a ballpoint needle pushes between the fabric fibers rather than piercing them, preventing snags or runs in the knit structure.

Does Ponte De Roma fabric require lining?

No, Ponte De Roma typically doesn’t require lining due to its substantial weight and opacity. The double-sided construction provides enough structure and coverage for most garments, making it an excellent choice for streamlined, professional-looking pieces.

How should I prepare Ponte De Roma fabric before sewing?

Pre-wash your fabric according to the care instructions before cutting and sewing. While Ponte De Roma has minimal shrinkage, this step ensures your finished garment maintains its intended size and fit after washing.
