Processing tips

Ribcord Rebel can be processed effortlessly with a universal needle (80/12). Cut the fabric with sharp fabric scissors or rotary cutters to avoid frayed edges. Finish all seams with a zigzag or coverlock stitch and, if necessary, use a fabric clamp to keep the rib direction nice and straight. For corners and curves, make small notches in the back of the fabric so that it falls smoothly around shapes.
