If you happen to have a craftsy.com membership, I am currently
listening to a class on sewing knits (stretchy fabric).<br>
<br>
I am just getting to the parts of actually sewing, so I can't answer
your question, but yes, you need thread to match your material and
you need to use stitches designed for stretchy fabric.<br>

do I sew stretchy material together. It looks to me like the
