Whilst I haven’t made it in a cord, I’d look at the Closet Core Pietra pants. It’s pull on and has a couple of different leg options… the wide leg isn’t too wide

It’s amazing how things can go badly when we’ve made the pattern before and it went so well then 🤷‍♀️ Been there, got the tee shirt . . . .

I hope this helps. Key Settings & Application Tips Stitch Type: Use a simple straight stitch—no zigzag or stretch stitches needed. Stitch Length: Set length to 2.5 to 3.0 (aiming for roughly 4 stitches per centimeter) for optimal...

Problems With Sewing Jersey

Dawn H · 1 week ago Plus Member

Hi Suekhmet, I agree with Laura, sew maraflex with a straight stitch, the thread has a slight stretch in it so need for zigzag. I have used this thread on my Brother F420 with no issues. Also try re threading machine/bobbin & test on scrap jersey...

Welcome to the group Suekhmet - my machine likes maraflex but only on a straight stitch, also use a jersey needle - what machine do you have? Good luck with it xx

Ooh it’s lovely Donnie. I agree that if you get a lot of wear out of something it definitely offsets the environmental issues. It doesn’t contribute to the throw away culture

Problems With Sewing Jersey

SewHayleyJane · 1 week ago Admin

Hello, and a huge welcome!! I’m not a fan of maraflex thread personally, I would try with a regular polyester sew all and a zigzag stitch. I’m also wondering if there’s something to do with the bobbin, could be as simple as a bit of fluff in the...
