TwitterThe KWIK SEW difference
KWIK SEW has over 800 patterns, including fashion patterns for the entire family for all types of stretch and woven fabrics and a variety of craft patterns. Choose from the largest selection for children, men, lingerie, swimwear, and sportswear.
KWIK Serge®
KWIK Serge® patterns are fast and easy. At least one of the designs in each pattern can be completely constructed on a serger (overlock) machine. These patterns also include instructions for standard sewing machines; therefore a serger (overlock) machine is not required for construction.
KWIK Start®
KWIK Start® patterns are designed for children and adults who want to learn to sew. The pattern designs are simple so they are easy to construct. The written and illustrated instructions are even more detailed than other KWIK SEW patterns.
No Sewing Required®
No Sewing Required® patterns provide fun, easy clothing and crafts that can be created without any sewing. Just cut and tie!
Great style, great fit and great looks
KWIK SEW patterns are known for their great styles and fit. KWIK SEW has its own design and pattern making staff, so all patterns have uniform sizing.
All KWIK SEW patterns are multi-sized with four or five sizes in each envelope. The patterns also have more than one view.
Patterns are printed on one side of durable white paper with colour coded cutting lines for each size. This results in patterns that are a dream to work with when compared to tissue paper patterns.
Seam allowances are included on all pattern pieces. Many patterns are designed with 1/4" (6 mm) seam allowances that make them easy to sew and saves time by eliminating trimming.
Patterns are made to fit specific body measurements with ease allowed for comfort and style. To choose the correct size, compare body measurements to the measurement chart on the back of the pattern envelope or in the back of the catalogue. Choose the size closest to the body measurements. If in-between sizes, choose the larger size. Most patterns have the finished measurement of the garments printed on the pattern pieces.
It's In the Details
It is important to consider fabric, fit and construction details when choosing a style. The following information is in the catalogue and on the back of the pattern envelope:
· The styles are illustrated and described for each view to clarify style, fit and construction details such as: extended shoulders, sleeves, pockets, collars and closures. Fit is described as close fitting, semi-fitted or loose fitting.
· The suggested type and weight of fabrics most suitable for that particular garment, exact fabric requirement for each size and view and all notions needed to complete the garment.
· Stretch charts are on all pattern envelopes when the pattern is designed for stretch fabric. It is important to use fabrics with the correct amount of stretch to obtain a perfect fit. Patterns designed for two-way stretch fabric with Lycra® spandex are smaller than the body measurements and will stretch on the body for a comfortable fit.
All patterns have detailed step-by-step instructions with many illustrations, covering all construction procedures. They are easy to follow for a beginner as well as an experienced sewer.
KWIK SEW includes many of the short-cut sewing methods used by manufacturers that result in a professionally made garment, requiring the least amount of time to sew.
