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.
