Sewing Micropoly (brushed and stretch) Micropoly
dakotasews Advanced Beginner USA Member since 1/7/06 Posts: 11	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 1/10/10 11:48 PM I'm working on a simple running tank for my daughter out of a stretch brushed micropoly I bought from fabric.com. I'm used a 70 ballpoint needle. So far, I have decided my sewing machine, serger and iron all hate this stuff. Are there any tricks that someone knows of? I'm getting there but ripping out a lot of seams too. Thanks! Dakotasews

I was sewing some wickaway and it was giving me fits until I remembered to use those needles. Schmetz Microtex ------ Jewel

At first, e-mails were written on rocks and thrown at neighbors. CC-ing a rock e-mail could be dangerous for an entire village. Then, e-mails were written on paper and put in weird paper things called envelopes and the postal system delivered them. This was slow. Finally, e-mail as we know it came around."
