Sewing SOS (aka, Auuuuuugh!)
One of the fabrics I'm using for the Insane Costuming Project turns out to be one my sewing machine Does Not Like At All. (It's definitely the fabric's fault; the machine is sewing other fabrics fine.) It's a metallic fabric, slightly stretchy, and my machine won't sew it smoothly -- the bobbin thread keeps not catching, so there will be some stitches fine and then a big gap, and then it won't catch at all for a couple of inches.
The woman at the craft store told me that a serger is really the best sort of thing to use for this. Does anyone have one they're willing to lend me for a couple of days? This project has to be finished by next weekend, and the metallic part is crucial. It has a number of parts, so hand-sewing would be very time-consuming.
If anyone has one, or advice on what to do, I would really appreciate it. I am frustrated out of my mind right now, and worried about how I'm going to get this finished.
