    Fabric Puckering While Sewing

    Here's a good pdf explaining cause and effect of puckering when sewing light weight fabrics. It helped me with a few problems.

    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

    It's never ending all right. This helped me straighten out much of my puckering problems with slick 1.1 ripstop. Mostly it was making shorter stitches and easing up the foot tension. It's all too much like math and science - things I try to stay away from if possible.
