Summer is finally here, and with it, the perfect time to cool off with a dip in a nice lake. For a real eye-catcher at the beach, you’ll definitely make an impression with a bathing suit you’ve made yourself. This week, the fabrics experts at myfabrics.co.uk will tell you what makes a great bathing suit fabric, what you should be aware of during production, and how you should care for it:
Areas of application:
Bathing suit fabric is primarily used in sports such as swimming, dance, and gymnastics.
The fabric:
Our myfabrics.co.uk bathing suit fabric consists of polyamide and Lycra (a brand name for spandex), and both are synthetically produced fabrics. While polyamide is able to be dyed when it is produced, spandex is very resilient.
Care tips:
Our myfabrics.co.uk bathing suit fabric is able to be machine-washed at 40° C on a gentle setting. However, make sure you use washing powder for delicate items, since the colours may fade and the elasticity may be reduced otherwise.
Production tips:
A special needle with a rounded tip should be used for elastic fabrics, since normal needle points can tear the knit. The needle thickness (70 to 90) should be selected according to the fabric.
Seams also need to remain stretchy. Use your machine’s special utility and overlock stitches. A straight stitch with the lest possible needle thread tension (e.g. 2 to 3) or a very slight zigzag stitch with a length of 1.5 to 2 mm may be used on normal machines.
Very elastic fabrics and seams that are subjected to a high level of stress should be sewn using a zigzag stitch at a length of 1 to 1.5 mm and a width of 1.5 to 2 mm.
