Suggested fabric
Silk twill · Lightweight wool · Wool/silk blend · Cotton (printed)
80–160 gsm (2.4–4.7 oz/yd²)
fluid, bias-friendly woven
Cut every piece on the true bias so the tie knots cleanly and hangs straight, and use a wool interlining to give the necktie body and spring.
Avoid: Knits, Stiff canvas, Thick or bulky fabrics
③ Place a motif
Preview where a chest print, pocket or embroidery will sit before you cut — then print it as a placement guide.
④ Print & cut
