Sewing Over Fabric Bumps

Sewing over thick bumps of fabric – where several seams come together folded on top of
one another – can be a challenge. And the result is often uneven stitches or a sewing
machine that won't budge.

To make sewing over fabric bumps easier, try using a “Jean-a-ma-jig” or a “Hump-
jumper” (your local fabric store should carry them). This tool will keep your pressure foot
level as you sew over the bump and give your feed dogs (the little teeth that stick up
beyond your needle plate) something to grip onto to help move your fabric forward.
