So for today's discussion, what lessons have you learned the hard way?
Not a proper reply to the actual post question, but hopefully a helpful hint: When sewing t-shirts where the foot doesn't glide smoothly, I lay strips of waxed paper between the shirt and my foot. I can see thru it and the foot glides easily over all design materials.
