Approx. Finished Size: 8″ W x 29″ L

Cut Fabrics and Supplies

• Using Rotary Cutter, Rotary Cutting Ruler and Mat, cut one rectangle approx. 58″/60″ W x 18″ L from Jersey Knit Fabric and trim away selvedges.

 

 

A 58″/60″ W x 18″ L rectangle is a half-yard of Jersey Knit fabric!

 

• Cut one 3″- 4″ length Clover’s 1/4″ Fusible Web Tape.

Create Twist it! Loop Scarf

 

 

Now’s the perfect time to use a serger!

 

 

• Set serger overlocker machine for a 4-thread serger overlock stitch. Insert new Schmetz ELx 705 Serger Needles Size 80/12 and thread machine with Four Cones Coordinating Serger Cone Threads

 

• Fold fabric rectangle, right sides together, meeting long edges. Pin.

 

 

When placing pins for a serging project, insert pins parallel to fabric cut edge – this way you don’t risk cutting into pins with your serger blade!

 

• Serge long edge seam with 1/4″ seam allowance.
• Trim fabric cut edges, while stitching.
• Remove pins, while stitching.

 

 

If stitching scarf with a sewing machine, set sewing machine for a “wobble-stitch”: Choose a slight zigzag (2.0-2.5 length and .5 width). On the outside, this stitch will give the appearance of a straight stitch, while providing a slight amount of stretch to the seam!  If stitching with a sewing machine, be sure to backstitch at seam beginning and ending. For extra durability during wear – stitch this seam again, stitching over original stitching line. No need to double stitch when using a serger!

 

• Fold fabric tube, right sides together, stacking and aligning stitched seam: Reach into the fabric tube and turn tube onto itself keeping right sides together, stitched side seam aligned, and align cut edges.

• Place pins through single fabric layers, opposite from stitched seam, along folds of short ends.

• “Twist” fabric tube and align pins with stitched seams. Pin.

• Using Clover’s 5-in-1 Sliding Gauge, measure and mark a 3″- 4″ opening (for turning) along one cut edge, approximately 3″- 4″ from seam.
• Mark opening with Clover’s Chaco Liner or I Sew For Fun Marking Pen.

• Stitch seam, leaving seam open between markings.

Finish Twist it! Loop Scarf

• Turn scarf right side out through seam opening.
• Fuse Clover’s 1/4″ Fusible Web Tape strip to one inner seam allowance, at seam opening.

• Remove paper backing from Clover’s 1/4″ Fusible Web Tape.
• Press seam closed.

 

 

Optional: Using a hand sewing needle and thread, hand stitch seam opening closed!

 

• Your Twist it! Loop Scarf is complete!
