Has anyone else had a piece of fabric that will not cooperate no way, no how? I bought a Tshirt knit to make my daughter's bday present last year. 1 - there was a hole that I didn't see either when I bought it or cut it out, and it wound up in the front of the shirt. OK - had enough fabric, so cut out what I thought was the front, but it was the back! Still had enough fabric so cut out another front and finally got the darn thing embroidered and together. Since I had so much fabric left, I decided to make a T for myself. This time, the flatlock on the serger messed up, the 4 thread messed up, finally got the darn shirt together. I think I'm just going to throw the scraps out!. Weezy

Weezy, I have definitely had jinxed fabric. Luckily I buy most of my fabric on sale so if something just isn't going to work out I can abandon it!

| Many times!!! The worst was when I bought this beautiful jaquard fabric, I got 2 different pieces, one was this red oriental fabric and the other was a gold Oriental looking fabric. It was only $2.99 a yard so I thought I had a bargain. WRONG!!! I attempted to make a dress with the red fabric and it shredded all to pieces when I was trying to put the collar on. Then I made a pair of pants and a blouse with the gold fabric and I was dressed and ready to go to a wedding, when I sat down on my bed, the pants ripped and the blouse ripped and I had to sew the blouse right before I left. The pants were beyone repair. The fabric was like tissue paper and I understand why it was so cheap!! Never again!! |

Sounds like rayon fabric. The lightweight kind.. That is the way it did when it first came out years ago.. That is why I never buy rayon, even to this day.. Because it wasted so much of our money back in the old days...
