I'm sticking strictly to woven fabric until I get the hang of this sewing lark :-D. <br /><br />The otter is one at the Highland Wildlife Park who we've seen asleep *many* times, but last time we were there he was having a brilliant time in his pool showing off to everybody!Peeriemoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00942676847285474124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1789213255940068332.post-27266473377026954962014-04-08T01:16:29.760+01:002014-04-08T01:16:29.760+01:00Is the thread elderly?

If you're sewing a knit fabric, be sure to get some "stretch" needles. They make a world of difference.<br /><br />P.P.S.

I've ordered new needles as well as new thread, just in case, all in the hope that it might be the needle or the thread (and not *me*) that's the problem. Good luck with yours :-).<br /><br />Josie, thank you! Fingers crossed it plays nicely soon :-).Peeriemoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00942676847285474124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1789213255940068332.post-73179286237133525672014-04-04T16:46:03.433+01:002014-04-04T16:46:03.433+01:00It is just so frustrating when that happens and yu...It is just so frustrating when that happens and yup my language then rather choice too!

I think I may have put the needle in backwards. I repositioned it and haven't tried to sew with it for fear it won't work! I'm waiting for a day that I will have unlimited patience before I try it. I may be waiting a while...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
