Advice for usage of jersey and knit fabrics:
To keep the flexibility of the fabric, stitch the seams using an elastic stitch or a flat adjusted zigzag stitch. For delicate knits use a ballpoint needle for your sewing machine. The round tip of the needle prevents from damaging the fabric. Neaten and trim the edges and seams using an overlock machine. If you don’t own an overlock machine, use the overlock stitch on your sewing machine. At first, test the stitch using a remnant piece of fabric. Some jerseys, like the ones with tight knit stitch, don’t have to be neatened.
