muslin for knits
Babs42 Intermediate PA USA Member since 9/8/07 Posts: 259	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 10/29/07 1:57 PM I have not worked with any knits before but have a few dresses I would like to tackle. I definitely want to make a muslin first, but was not sure of what fabric you use for this. I am assuming it should have a stretch to mimic the knit, but do they sell a stretch muslin?

Just go down to the local Walmart and see if you can find something atrocious that shares similar properties to the 'good' stuff. I also pick up yardage from thrift stores for muslin use too. ;)
