I finally received my material from Extremtextil but I have been facing some problems.
I wanted to try making a double ended stuff sack for a tarp. Fairly simple, sew on some channels for rope, turn around, sew long sides together and flip it over.
However, the Ripstop Nylon prefered to get lodged inside the machine rather than advance. I think this was due to the fabric being too thin/light. Even when sewing 4 or 5 layers together, it prefered to get stuck in the machine than get stiched.
I decided to move onto the heavier ripstop, but now with this one the thread was stitching alright, but it was essentially cutting the thread every time the needle went above the fabric.
I can order some kevlar thread, but I think that might be overkill and delays the project even further. If anyone has ideas about what I should change I am eternally grateful.
Thank you!
