Using a singer 600E:
What procedure is used for nylon ripstop? I'm not getting wide stitch
spacing like on tents with tight bottom threading-the bottom stitch is
slack, slacker than the tents.
What foot and procedure for sewing double side fleece with filler and
polartec 200?
Is sewing 1/8" neoprene possible with a special foot?
A walking foot is on hand. Is a walking foot useable for sewing thick
fleece or neoprene?

For ripstop I use the roller foot and a smallish needle, with a fine
thread... If you are getting loops on the bottom, tighten up your
tension a notch or two.
I usually use the serger for seams on polar fleece: I do use the walking
foot or the roller foot for straight stitching on the ordinary machine.
You'll have to test the neoprene... Some machines will cope, some
won't. And yes, I'd try both the walking foot and a roller foot on it.
If it's nylon knit covered neoprene (wetsuit fabric) use a jersey
needle. If it's solid sheets of neoprene, like rubber, use a leather
needle.

hello, i was meaning OP feedback to indicate what worked to fix the
problem ...
in my news reader and in google groups I only saw 1 response/suggestion from
KateXXX (most likely the correct one) and i was hoping OP would report
ressults.
