I am looking for a master seamstress who knows the ins & outs of
sewing with a fabric that is 95% modal and 5% spandex. If you have any
information that may lead me to this person, it would make my day!

$50 finders fee to the person who puts me in contact with the right
person.

Have you checked with your local fabric store for recommendations?
Another good place to check is perhaps your local high school home ec.
class, the teacher might know of someone. I'm sure the others here
will have more suggestions where to locate this person.

Have you checked Professional Association of Custom Clothiers?

You can do a search in your local area for sewing professionals.

Spandex/Lycra type fabrics are not too hard to deal with. Where are you?

In the U.S., modal is called tencel, and is a type of rayon made from
beech trees. Tencel was the first "new" generic fiber to be
determined by the Federal Trade Commission in thirty years. It has
many of the same characteristics as cotton, but holds its color
better, and does not pill.

If one can sew cotton, one can sew modal or tencel. The spandex just
makes the fabric more comfortable, as it will stretch. No special
allowances need to be made for the stretch factor.
