Terry cloth is a type of cloth that features loops & soft piles of yarns, resulting in very absorbent, moisture material. It is the length of loops that determines how much fluid is absorbed by the cloth as longer loops provide more surface area to absorb & come in contact with the fluid. Weave With regular terry cloth, there are loops on both sides of the fabric. French terry cloth, on the other hand, is woven so that the loops of thread are only on one side of the fabric. The other side is smooth, flat & knit-like in texture. French terry cloth is sometimes machine knit rather than woven. Characteristics French terry cloth is a light to medium weight fabric. Like regular terry cloth, the looped side of French terry cloth is highly absorbent. Regular terry cloth is thicker & used to make towels & other bath linens. Because French terry cloth is more lightweight & has a smooth side, it is suitable for garments, particularly sportswear & beachwear. Garments French terry is popular in sporty or casual clothing such as shorts & athletic shirts.For a while in the early 1980s, terry cloth shorts, shirts, & tank tops were popular wear not just for athletics, but more for summer mainstream clothing. Another common use of French terry is in infant & toddler clothing. Like the jogging suit made with French terry, stretchy one-piece suits for young children are much more comfortable for use as weather turns warmer. A little stretch to the fabric accommodates a growing child. Sewing When sewing with French terry cloth you should treat it like you would a jersey fabric. When sewing stretch French terry, use a ballpoint needle with your sewing machine & sew double-stitched straight seams or narrow zigzag seams. You may find that the looped side of the fabric gets caught in the feed dogs of your sewing machine. To remedy this, place a sheet of thin tissue paper between the looped side & the machine; sew through the paper & the fabric, then carefully tear the paper away.
