Needle advice

Jul 05, 2008 2 Replies

I'm making some summer pjs for my soon to be 7 and 10 year old DGDs and using some slick feeling sparkley knit fabric. I'm having a little trouble with some skipped stitches, what sort of needle should I be using? I'm using a size 14 ball point needle.



Any advice? Thanks,



Judie


I'm replying to my own post here, but I went to TSWLTH and got some stretch sewing needles and will try those. And by the way, they have items on the notions wall on sale for 50% off and there is a 10% off total purchase coupon in addition to the sale price. And the cutting implements are on sale for 50% off as well. I got some of the spring loaded scissors I've been wanting to try and picked up a few other things I've been wanting. It was one of my very best Joann experiences, I usually come out of there wondering why I keep shopping there but of course I shop there because there is really not much choice.

I just came from JoAnn's, too. Got several assorted packs of Schmitz Needles, some new dressmaker's pencils, long tweezers and a couple of glue pens. Love these sales!
