Step 1: Cut the fabric and elastic For this tutorial, we're making a headband with a finished width of 2" (the pattern uses a 3/8" seam allowance), but this is easy to adjust if you'd like something different. I used quilting cotton, but any cotton fabric would work, including lightweight denim and even knits.
Cut a strip of fabric from the body of the T-shirt — twice the width you want it and a comfortable length around your head. Fold it end to end and sew ends right sides together by machine or hand. Turn it right side out and fold. You've got yourself a chic little headband. Next: Headband with a twist tutorial >> Step 1: Cut the fabric and elastic. Step 2: Fold and press.

Hereof, what kind of thread do you use for knit fabric?
Serger. If you own a serger then this is the ideal way to sew with knits. A 3-Thread or 4-Thread stitch will secure a seam and still provide good stretch. You can use regular serger thread, wooly nylon thread, or (my favorite) stretch thread.
