I'd answer to it just as quick as my first name! ;-)<br /><br />Hurm... That would be when I'd break out a hand needle and do it that way. I'm assuming you were using a new needle, so the tearing of thread has to be the material's fault. Usually I would blame an old needle with a snag in the eye. <br /><br />If you hand sew it (I just realized I don't know what you're making!), you might run bees wax down the thread to make it stronger and slip through the fabric better. I don't know if you should put wax on thread for a machine. Sounds like it'd turn into an icky mess.<br /><br />I hope somethin' works for ya! :-)<br />CoraCorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04925122449504540080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667659018837207033.post-14986287986363583352010-03-01T21:41:32.548-06:002010-03-01T21:41:32.548-06:00Hello Cora!

My machine does have a side wheel and I've tried using that... It works for a while, and then one of the plys of the thread would break and I'd have to rethread again. I'm using very heavy thread--designed for apholstery and such, so I'm surprised actually that it's giving me such troubles... I've adjusted the thread tension way down too. Have any other suggestions? :)Cora Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889865695652573462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667659018837207033.post-6454898303312456092010-03-01T20:50:51.139-06:002010-03-01T20:50:51.139-06:00Do you have a bigger needle that you could use in ...Do you have a bigger needle that you could use in the sewing machine? And does your machine allow you to run it by hand (with a side wheel)? Sometimes taking it a little slower helps the machine punch through thick fabric.<br /><br />Have a blessed day!<br />Cora<br /><br />P.S. I saw a comment you left on Anna's (Damsel in Distress) blog and decided to come meet this other Cora. :)Corahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04925122449504540080noreply@blogger.com
