My last post got interrupted by a phone call from a friend who was having machine problems. When I tried to finish the post I got a message that said I couldn't make changes to a post after 20 minutes. It took longer than that to solve the machine problem over the phone. lol So I'll try this again.
That is unusual. I have used Steam-a-Seam without any problem of stickiness on the needle or skipped stitches. On the other hand, I was having problems with an applique where I had used Heat and Bond. New needle, etc. didn't fix the problem, so I took my machine in to the dealer because it was still skipping stitches. They told me it was the Heat and Bond that was causing the problem. I quit using it and never had another problem.
