sewing 1.1 sil vs ripstop
Hello all, I have been working quite a bit with 1.9 riptop and have had great luck. I ordered some 1.1 sil to make a tarp and I cannot for the life of me get a good stitch. Does anyone have any tips or tricks? When I run it thru the machine the top and bottom don't stay even. I've tried pinning it with no luck. It just gets bunched up and the stitches just turn into a rats nest. Although I can't use 1.1 rip stop for a tarp I have some other projects in mind. Is it as hard to sew as the sil ? Thanks in advance!

And when it comes to the rolled hem, I found that paper clips worked really well to hold the material on the floor while I use my fingers for the material near the presser foot.
I found the paper clips a little easier than pins on the slick material. So try different techniques to see what works for you.
