12.2. Useful sewing tips
12.2.1. Sewing thin and lightweight fabrics
Lightweight and thin fabrics can ride up in the machine as these materials are not always fed through the machine
evenly.
When sewing these kinds of fabrics, lay some embroidery backing (available from specialist shops) or a piece of tis-
sue paper under the material. This prevents irregular feeding.
12.2.2. Sewing elasticated fabrics
It can be easier to work with elastic materials if you sew the pieces of material together first with basting cotton or tack-
ing yarn and then sew them together with small stitches without stretching the material.
Good results can also be obtained if you use special threads for sewing knitwear and stretch stitches.
