Can you ladies help me out, here? I bought this machine the other day
(over the phone from my longtime dealer, who I trust implicitly), hoping
to make a lettuce-edged rolled hem on the chiffon skirts of my gown. It
is not working. The rolled stitching is not catching the thin chiffon
except intermittently, and it's driving me mad.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance. This is almost all I have left to do on
the dress, which is turning out so well, otherwise. And the event is
<gulp> tomorrow night. Eeek.

Have you double checked all of the settings? I've had my Evolve for a
couple of months, but don't consider myself an expert. There's a note in
the manual on page 33 that says: "To avoid the stitching from pulling away
from the fabric, increase the width to a slightly larger number".

Karen,
I took these off of another list I'm on. I also think that on another group
someone suggested a "Solvy soup" as a solution for making unruly fabric more
managable. But you don't have time to make the 'soup'. I haven't looked at
the above addresses, I just stored them for future use. But if a 'paint on'
water soluable solution works, why not just strips of water soluable
stablizer fed through with the fabric.
Just off the top of the head brainstorming.

Hope you find your solution, <G>

I have used rolls of adding machine tape (picked up in thrift stores) to
give the edge a little more body -- stitched over that and then ripped
the paper off. I don't know how that would do with a lettuce edge,
though.

Oh yes- I forgot. In the one class they included with the machine she did
show us how to use solvy to do the decorative blanket stitch. It's shown on
page 38 in the manual..
