POLYESTER SINGLE JERSEY KNIT FABRIC WITH ELASTANE - WHITE - 190 GSM

POLYESTER SINGLE JERSEY KNIT FABRIC WITH ELASTANE - WHITE - 190 GSM

This white polyester Single Jersey knit fabric with elastane has a smooth surface and a subtle sheen that changes depending on the angle of the light and how the material is arranged. The characteristic Single Jersey construction makes the fabric soft, stretchy, and comfortable against the skin. At 190 GSM, it combines a lightweight feel with medium thickness, offering comfortable wear and a fluid drape. The fabric falls naturally, forming soft folds, making it suitable for both simple garments and more fitted designs. Its white surface can be left plain or used as a base for sublimation printing.

Smooth surface, subtle sheen, and soft drape

Single Jersey knit fabric features a characteristic single-knit construction that gives it a soft, flexible, and pleasant feel. Its smooth face highlights the uniform white color and subtle sheen, which becomes more noticeable as the lighting changes. The fabric is not stiff; it falls naturally and drapes easily, creating soft, flowing folds. Unlike interlock fabrics, Single Jersey has a different structure on its face and reverse sides, which should be considered during garment design and cutting. The knit provides full opacity, while its soft feel against the skin makes it suitable for clothing worn directly against the body.

Stretch and applications

The fabric contains 92% polyester and 8% elastane (spandex). The addition of elastane improves stretch and recovery, enhances wearing comfort, and helps the material return to its original shape after stretching. The knit stretches primarily in one direction, making it suitable for garments that require moderate elasticity and freedom of movement. Polyester Single Jersey with elastane is an excellent choice for blouses, tops, T-shirts, lightweight sportswear, and dancewear. Its 190 GSM weight provides a balanced combination of softness, coverage, and comfort. The fabric is suitable for year-round projects, including everyday clothing and garments designed for physical activity.

Sublimation printing, cutting, and sewing

The white surface of the knit provides a suitable base for sublimation printing, allowing colorful patterns and graphics to be applied. Before printing, testing a small fabric sample is recommended to check color reproduction and the effect of heat on the fabric's structure and elasticity. With a width of 165 cm, the material provides plenty of space for arranging both larger garment pieces and smaller details. When cutting, consider the direction of stretch and the characteristic Single Jersey construction, as the fabric edges may tend to curl. Ballpoint or stretch needles and elastic stitches are recommended to ensure the seams do not restrict the fabric's movement. The silicone finish further enhances the smooth surface and gives the knit a soft, pleasant hand feel.

Durability and appearance after washing

Polyester Single Jersey with elastane offers good resistance to pilling, abrasion, and deformation during everyday use. Thanks to its polyester content, the fabric retains its color well, is easy to care for, and has a low tendency to wrinkle. The addition of elastane helps the knit recover its original shape, reducing permanent stretching during wear. The material withstands regular washing well when appropriate care instructions are followed. Its combination of soft construction, elasticity, and durability makes it suitable for everyday clothing, sportswear, and dancewear. The uniform white color, subtle sheen, and smooth surface provide an attractive finish for both simple garments and more detailed designs.
