I'm following up on my post of a few days ago about what to do about
skipped stitches when sewing with lightweight lycra. I received a lot
of informative posts, THANK YOU ALL. I have experimented with several
suggestions, and here's what worked.
1. Changed my thread from Coats to Guttermann.
2. Changed my needle to Schmetz Stretch, size 75-11, H-S.
3. Bought some thread lubricant, Sewers Aide, and applied a couple of
drops to a piece of felt I glued to my machine in a place where the
thread would move across it.
And, it all worked! No more skipped stitches.
