Sewing thin fabrics
When sewing thin fabrics, the stitching may become
misaligned or the fabric may not feed correctly.
If this occurs, place thin paper or stabilizer material
under the fabric and sew it together with the fabric.
When you have finished sewing, tear off any excess
paper.

Sewing stretch fabrics
First, baste the pieces of fabric together, and then
sew without stretching the fabric.
In addition, a better result can be achieved by using
thread for knits or a stretch stitch.
