I'm following up on my post of a few days ago about what to do about skipped stitches when sewing with lightweight lycra. I received a lot of informative posts, THANK YOU ALL. I have experimented with several suggestions, and here's what worked.
- Changed my thread from Coats to Guttermann.
- Changed my needle to Schmetz Stretch, size 75-11, H-S.
- Bought some thread lubricant, Sewers Aide, and applied a couple of drops to a piece of felt I glued to my machine in a place where the thread would move across it. And, it all worked! No more skipped stitches. Cheryl
