Could not work out why sewing my fleece fabric was much harder one direction rather than another.
Had made a beautiful repair of a long cut.
Take one- tried to sew the other way perpendicular to the other cut (now you fleece nerds are laughing I'll bet-you know exactly what's coming..) and the machine on the same setting was often stuffing up.
Take two- yes, I now know the fleece sucked me in (I'm blaming this inanimate poly crap) and led me to believe it had the same stretch in relation to the selvedge. Now I know -you rotten stuff!
Take three - can someone help me defeat the fleece and tell what setting is best for the stretchy direction it's about 20% stretch perpendicular to the selvedge and really not much (almost none) parallel.
I believe a ball point needle is advantageous/required.
My machine has a
1 -a thread tension adjuster
2 -a presser foot tension adjuster
3 -a SS setting
4 -plus the usual zig zaggy patterny stitch length settings
Just after a simple "put/try your machine on his setting" for the four settings above if you can and I'll have a crack. Got lots to practise with and for me it's the best teacher.
Thanks kindly
