When we talk about denim, we also speak of a chain fabric and tight armor frame (Like the gabardine of which you can read a previous article just here).

Unlike jeans, Denim is a fabric threw from Baumwolle exclusively. (And not mixed with wool or linen).

The threads are tinged with 2 colors: the ecru frame wire and the chain wire tinted to indigo.

It is called denim in reference to a Nîmes spinning of 16^th century that made the tight canvas.

Some denim canvases offered for sale contain elastane: this allows more comfortable parts to be searched.

They are favored for example for pants or skirts.

2. For my part, I often use A double training foot. This can be bought in haberdashery or on the internet but you must check compatibility with your machine.
3. We also use Extra-Fort sewing wire So that the seams are very solid.
4. Some machines are equipped with Triple stretch. I like to use this triple point to solidify my seams, especially on the stitching of crotch pants!
