Date: 2/11/13 7:03 PM okay, I am desperately in need of help.
I want to finish this dres so bad but it is conspiring against me.
the fashion fabric is rayon challis and the lining fabric is cotton batiste (i think)
no matter what, when I sew through both layers the tension is wrong.
I am using Viking sapphier quilters edition. what kind of needle and stitch should I be using? |

I would also maybe use a walking foot.
