Managing Large Amount of Fabric
I am sewing drapes, but am hoping quilters can give me some tips on how they manage large sheets of thick fabric. I keep bending needles trying to haul all the fabric through the machine. It starts with the needle making that quiet popping noise when it pierces the fabric, then thread snags, then I get bird's nests on the back of the fabric. I've already bent three needles and I am only halfway through the project!
