Episode Description
Moving from wovens to knits can feel like stepping into a parallel universe, similar tools, but completely different rules. In this episode, Malena and Johanna demystify knit fabric sewing and explain what actually matters when you're ready to make the leap.
They break down the fundamental differences between knit and woven fabrics, why some knits are beginner-friendly while others will test your patience, how choosing the wrong fabric can mess up your project and why the sewing order changes with knits. They also discuss which starter project could set you up for success (hint: it might surprise you). Then Malena drops a cutting bomb that has Johanna in stitches!
