Sewing with Satin

    Sewing with Satin
    on: December 09, 2009, 01:22:45 PM
    I've been attempting to sew my own lingerie but I have a terrible time with my satin puckering. I decreased the tension. I used the recommended needle for satin. What am I doing wrong?

      Just looking at my copy of Fabric Savvy, it recommends a 2.0 straight stitch with a satin stitch foot and the needle in the far left position (this allows for support on 3 sides for the fabric).

      The needle it recommends is a 70/10 HJ or HM
