Would a needle with a bigger eye keep the thread from "rubbing" and then breaking? Maybe a needle meant for metalics?
|
Ditto on the wonder under, works great for me.

i had a problem like that with heat and bond then i switched to steam a seam and love it and have had no problem
with heat and bond i had to stop and clean off my needle with alchohol and sew a bit then clean it again |

Even if you have changed your needle sometimes you will get a bad one. (60% of needles are rejected ) and need to change again. Good Luck. |

I use steam-a-seam 2 (doing a Kill Sunbonnet Sue myself at the moment).

I really love heat & bond but i'm having the exact same problem. I've never had a problem with wonder under but don't like it as well as h&b
|
I had that problem and I ended up having to hand stitch using a satin stitch. I'm going to take a look at the website offered for future reference. Hope all works out OK.

I iron the piece again when that happens. Sometimes the sticky stuff gets overlapped when I press it to attach it the first time, usually if the fusible has been sitting around for a while before I use it. I've learned to check if the glue part is coming off the paper when I first iron it on. Does that make sense?

Have you tried a piece of tear away under you fabric to kind of clean the needle as it goes thru the heat and bond?
Just a thought |
