Sewing mamas!Calling all AmityMama's who like to sew! Do you make quilts, clothes, diapers, bags? Do you love to run your fingers through fiber? Can't get enough just sewing, but want to talk about it too? Come on in!
I appliqued a shirt today, and when the stablizer was in place my machine kept skipping stitches! I was using sew-in interfacing from JA's to stablize. So does this mean it'll do that with every stablizer???

I like the perforated, too. Also, mine does that when I'm trying to applique w/ the wrong needle. Fiddly machine I have.
You probably already figured this out, but spray adhesive will make appliqueing (sp?) your woven onto a knit *MUCH* easier & less shifty.
I think you already finished it but I wanted to say that I use an embroidery needle - very fine. Spray-on definitely makes life *much* easier! I clean my needle with alcohol after each use (when I use the spray-on adhesive), it keeps the gunk off the needle and allows more uses.

I really like the HTCW easy tear or whatever that perforated stuff is from JoAnns. I use it for way more than just embroidering. It is good for buttonholes too.
I really don't like spray adhesive though, I prefer ironing appliques on with wonderunder.
I haven't tried spray adhesive so I'll get some. What needle should I be using? Right now I'm using a universal.
