Mask making trouble
This is my first mask making adventure, as my sister wants some cloth masks. I bought some cute fabric for masks made by Moda. It's the one with the three folds in it. I'm having trouble getting my machine to sew through all 12 layers of fabric (where the folds are) when you do the last step, which is to sew all around the mask. My primary machine is a mid-century Singer Slant-o-matic 401a. I'm using a #14 sharp needle. I just changed it. I also have a 201-2 that is easy to get to, as is my 301.
I'm switching to the other style of masks after I use this fabric. This style is a real pain, but the fabric is really cute and I've already purchased it and cut the backing for it. .
Any suggestions?
