shame on you, yvonne! of course she is! it's just that her dog is facing in the wrong direction when she sews. :lol:
seriously, though, marmar ... i don't know whether this would help or not but try changing to a smaller needle size and changing needles more often. and look for a foot with a nice wide bottom that will hold onto the fabric for as long as possible.
2 more questions: (1) do you sew with pins? (2) do you starch your fabrics? everything is so much easier for me if my fabric is well starched. (ok ... less difficult; fewer disasters; wouldn't go so far as to imply that everything is easy for me. soooooooooo not the case. LOL)
