| My Sewing Machine Won’t Sew Through Thick, Bulky Layers |
Sewing Information, Advice, How-to
Try these fixes:
Change your needle
Use a “Jean-a-ma-jig” or a “Hump-
jumper”
Change your needle
If your machine needle is blunt or
dull, it will have difficulty piercing
your fabric. Use a new, sharp needle
for every project, appropriate for the
weight and type of fabric you’re
sewing.
Use a “Jean-a-ma-jig” or a “Hump-
jumper”
If you’ve been trying to sew over a bump of fabric, such as a thick jean hem, try
using this tool (your local fabric store should carry it). It keeps your presser foot
level as you sew over the bump and gives your feed dogs something to grip.
