FMQ question
Does the type of batting make a difference?
I trying to learn this technique and am really having trouble. I thought maybe it was the batting. I've no idea what kind it but its a high loft and probably an inch or more thick. Its just some scrap batting I found in some stuff I inherited from my mother. I'm using a 6" sandwich pin basted around the edges and a metal darning foot for my Necchi 4795 machine. I set the stitch width to 0 and dropped the feed dogs. I also loosened the presser foot pressure all the way up. The fabric just won't slide. I have to basically grip the sides of the sandwich to move it around. I don't have a supreme slider, the bed of the machine feels slippery if I move the sandwich across with the presser foot up but grabby when its down. This is definitely not as easy as the beginner videos make it out to be.
