How do I master using a sewing machine?
I can figure out how to use the sewing machine, the problem is that when i was trying to sew a seam on a stretchy fabric or actually any fabric the fabric doesn't move under the presser foot so it bunches and tangles the thread in the machine. or the stitch comes out all crooked and to the side. am i not sewing correctly or what? i've watched people on tv do it and it seems easy...
"when i was trying to sew a seam on a stretchy fabric or actually any fabric the fabric doesn't move under the presser foot so it bunches and tangles the thread in the machine. or the stitch comes out all crooked and to the side. am i not sewing correctly or what?"
Assuming you know how to sew, it sounds to me like something is wrong with your machine. Almost like it's threaded wrong or the feed dogs aren't moving the fabric thru correctly.
If you are able, maybe find a good sewing machine service center and have them take a look at your machine.
