Of all the games, which class did you have the most fun with? I’m going with 2025/4.1 fencer. Just give me a wide open beach with a catapult, a volcano hammer, and waves of Deroys and I’m in my happy place.
I have an old kenmore 158 series machine from a garage sale that I'm using with 80/12 jersey needles, Coats and Clark general purpose thread, and a cheap walking foot, trying to sew 2-3 layers of 220 gsm swimwear nylon/spandex fabric, sometimes with rubber elastic, sometimes with double fold binding. I am getting frequent skipped stitches when using the zig zag stitch, I get few or no skipped stitches when basting with a straight stitch. I get few or no skipped stitches when sewing on non-stretch woven fabrics. I have played with top thread tension, bobbin tension, and presser foot tension plenty, the only thing that seems to let me zig zag 2 layers of stretch fabric together is tissue paper backing. I worry that the throat plate hole is just too big and allows the needle to push the fabric in to the machine, causing the bobbin to miss the thread. Is this a common issue when sewing modern stretch fabrics on old machines? Would I have a much easier time with a new Singer Heavy Duty? Thanks, all help is appreciated!
