About this deal

We already told you to use the ballpoint needle over other options but we have not mentioned anything about the thread. That is coming up now as the thread you use is also a vital part of a successful sewing operation when it comes to mesh fabrics. Needle choice– Mesh fabric can be incredibly slippery, so a good needle choice would be a ballpoint needle, as it slides between fibres rather than piercing them, this also accounts for the slight stretch due to the composition of the mesh. Failing that, a Universal machine needle size 70/10-80/12 would be fine. Then if you pull too hard the fabric may stretch on you. It is all in the handling of the material that determines if you are going to have an easy or a difficult time working with these mesh fabrics. The petticoat netting is stiffer and works best when made into actual petticoats and tutus. The softest netting mesh you can find will be made from silk but that may be a bit expensive for some people.

Boring Legal Bit: If you follow any tutorial or guidance found in this post, or on this blog, you agree to be bound by our disclaimer which can be viewed here What is Mesh Fabric? But it takes that special coating to make those fibers waterproof. The other good news is that while most waterproof fabrics are not that breathable, a waterproof mesh is still very breathable. The holes do not get covered in the coating, so air can get through and keep you comfortable.

Mesh netting may be stronger than other mesh fabrics so you might see more durability in those mesh options. When made for industrial purposes, you may find the mesh lasting a lot longer than those options made for clothing or fashion accessories. Plus, using a tear-away or wash-away stabilizer will make your sewing time with this fabric a lot better and easier. To finish the hems and seams a serger is the preferred machine to use. But if you do not own one then turn to your machine that has twin needles on it. When you need to cut the fabric, use a rotary cutter and a good cutting mat. Some people suggest a healing mat but any good surface will do. Make sure the cutting blade is very sharp when you make your cuts.

Machine feet – You can also use a walking foot to help guide the mesh through, and use a tear away stabiliser or something like tissue or paper under the seam that can be ripped off afterwards to help guide the mesh over the feed dogs without it becoming trapped. You can also use a wide straight stitch foot or a roller foot (see next tips regarding foot pressure) Power mesh- this mesh option is used more for those clothing items that are designed to add top support to the body. Those clothing items are usually intimate feminine products like in-line bras, in-line panties, control to pantyhose, and similar products. This is a temperamental fabric to work with. It is nice, strong, durable at times, and looks good when given the right applications. However, it can be hard to work with because of the natural characteristics built into the material.
