I'm a near complete sewing newb. Just bought my first sewing machine (Brother 6000i) since using my mother's a few times as a kid.
Not having problems with thicker fabric (i.e. pillow cases) but lighter fabrics like HyperD seems to be bunching up on me and requires constant tension on the fabric behind the machine to prevent that. Using a walker foot seems to help but still ending up with a shortage of thread leaving a bunched up amount of fabric at the end of the run. I'm using a simple straight line sewing pattern, 2.5 length I think, tension set at 4.
Found a few tips online like using some tissue paper to ground it but that seems to be a pretty clunky method on an 11ft hammock.
Any tips?
Thank you much.
