Difference In Knit & Woven Fabrics

"Curious about different fabric types? We help you understand the difference between knit and woven fabrics. Knowing which fabric is best for your project is super helpful and can help you make the most of your sewing project. This is especially helpful if you are making your own clothing, but is helpful for other projects as well. Some materials work better than others and we explain to you some of the pros and cons of each type of fabric. "
