I bought some beautiful cotton knit fabric that stretches all directions. It's not heavy weight, its more fine weight but not flimsy. It feels like it may have spandex in it also. I hemmed up a 6 inch high by 28 inch long sample and washed it, dried it in the dryer and it rolled up into a skinny little tube. It's rolling to the right side also. Should I be cutting and hemming the straight grain to keep it from rolling? I am making a ruffle at the bottom of a pair of pants for my granddaughter. I used the serger to finish the hem. I did not actually turn it up and sew to form a hem. I wanted to finish it with just the serged edge however, I could turn it up.
