Hi. i bought a Babylock Evolve last year but have not had time to mess with it until this week. i promised a friend i would hem a dress for her, thinking i would have no problem. The dress is lycra/spandex. i got the cover stitch to work beautifully with one problem: every time i come to a seam to cross (side seams, front seam, back seam, etc.), the presser foot bogs down and the stitch jumps over to the left, then straightens out again once it is past the seam.
i've tried decreasing the pressure on the presser foot (every setting between 1 and 5), pulling on the fabric as it comes out the back, sewing fast, sewing slow, etc. The differential feed seems to be fine.
i'm about to pull my hair out. my friend is coming this weekend and i don't have her dress ready for her.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
