Question for you guys.....
How do you sew on rubbery material? My feeders and foot wants to bunch up. For example, I am doing the front panel of a purse. I put ironed on interfacing stuff on both of the panels - it is a rubbery feel - and I have to put both good sides together (I will turn it later). I can't sew it straight to save my life-it grabs the foot or feeders. I did try to put the paper back on it but I can't see to sew the edges - does that make sense? I am afraid if I use tissue paper I won't be able to get it off. I think I used the wrong lining....
Any ideas?
Maybe try tearaway stabilizer cut to the same size as the pieces you are sewing, then tearing off after? Just a thought, not sure if that is the same thing you already tried with interfacing.
I got my new embroidery machine a week ago and have hardly had any time to play with it but I did manage to get a picture of it and the first couple things I made on it uploaded.

I took my DGDs to Disney on Ice ("Let's Celebrate") today. They had a great time. Thankfully, I took a few pictures of the outfits and them wearing them before we left because I didn't get any good ones of them there. I took them by myself (ages 5 and 2) so you can imagine why I didn't get too many pictures. This is the oldest in her Tiana outfit (as she called it):

And the little one in her Mickey outfit. I did the appliques (with the pre-loaded Disney embroidery from my machine) on the shirt and the skirt.

Love the outfits, great job with the new machine!
I almost forgot, I have something to post!
This is a Tiana dress I made using the tutorial that was posted here by Jas0202 (I also put the tute in the bookmarks and on the Disboutiquer blog)

I love it! Definitely want to try making one of these some day.
We're back from Disney and had a FAN-tastic time! Here are two pictures of Epcot day, the girls all had Minnie dresses in their own style and the Mommas had rosettes so we could match too! If you're gonna go all out, do it at Disney right?

Problem is now I am completely hooked and want to start on a whole new set for our September trip.I'm even bummed we will only be there 4 days which limits me to 4 outfits!
Love the coordinating outfits, so cute!
