Troubleshooting
Fabric bunching under the needle

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your project, ensure your sewing machine is cleaned, oiled, and equipped with the correct needle size (typically universal 70/10 or 80/12) for your chosen fabric. Lay out all pattern pieces on a flat, hard surface to ensure accurate cutting. To preserve the longevity of your handmade garments, wash them in cold water on a delicate cycle and air dry to maintain the integrity of the seams and the structure of the garment. Always keep the pattern tissue stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the paper from becoming brittle.
