Yep! You just might need a different needle for your machine & as others have suggested, some fabrics need to be reinforced. I stand by my belief that a quilt made all with the same fabric will wear more evenly, but not all quilts are destined to be heirlooms. I'm sure your quilt will be quite lovely. Can't wait to see a picture! Some of my most favorite quilts are using non-traditional fabrics & materials in their constructions.
