Some machines are VERY picky about fabrics. If you have a throat plate that is for staight stitching you might try that. If you don't you may be able to use some tear away interfacing in the seam line. There are different types of machine needles too and a ball point or yellow band needle would be the best for that fabric. Check the size of needle you are using too a size 11 yellow band/ball point may be your best choice. Good luck.
