In our polyurethane product lineup, we mainly handle stretchy textiles, as well as trims such as ribbons, cords, elastic bands, lace, rib knits, and zippers. Polyurethane is also called spandex, and it has elasticity that stretches greatly like rubber and springs back, so it is also used when blended with other fibers.
If you want to add stretch to a textile, choose a polyurethane-blend textile. If you want to give elasticity to cuffs or the waist, use rib knit, elastic band, or tape as a guideline. Since twill is a woven fabric with diagonal ridges on the surface, check the appearance of the weave structure as well.
Customer reviews mention stretch, a moderate amount of body, a soft hand, and color options. On the other hand, highly stretchy materials are noted for being difficult to sew together and for skipped stitches caused by thread tension.
