I am having problems trying to sew this stuff ..........it doesnt seem to want to feed nicely at all especially on the straight grain. It is a fairly open weave and lovely and soft, sort of raw looking. I have an ancient overlocker but have ploughed thru all sorts of different fabrics with it from batiste to vinyl with little problem. I have changed the needle and rethreaded it, cleaned the feed dogs........the straight sewer is the same with this fabric but not as bad. With the overlocker I am having to keep tension on the fabric and literally pull it thru! I have adjusted the foot pressure slightly on both but it hasnt made much difference! Any advice anyone? cheers Jan |
