Good luck!
happening on a couple of shirts? hmmm, where they rubbery ones?. that cannot be ironed on? if so you can't sew through them either. just around. again. Good luck.
When I need to sew across or very near the rubbery designs on t-shirts, I tear narrow strips of waxed paper. I lay these over the rubbery stuff for my machine foot to slide on, trying to only sew next to the waxed paper so I don't have to rip it off later. It works great and makes fast work of sewing those sticky stuff shirts.
