I have a polyester shirt that needs to be taken in

[JanetRose]

because it's too big - is it ok to use a sewing machine on polyester?

 

[HeatherH]

Well, sure! You don't think all polyester clothes are HAND-sewn, do you?

It's fine to use a sewing machine on polyester.

 

[JanetRose]

I was worried it would run and ruin the shirt.

Just don't light a match.

Thanks for making me feel old - when I started sewing in the mid-late 60's, EVERYTHING was polyester!
