Matching stripes is a great accomplishment and so satisfying! Mine is attempting a set of 3 maxi dresses (mom, daughter, doll matching set) with a fabric I have never worked with before: rayon jersey. It took a lot of adjustments before I got a decent stretchy seam without the machine eating the fabric. I won't say I've conquered it completely and it's about as frustrating as working with wet spaghetti, but the dresses are slowly coming together. I do need to replace my needle often; does anyone else have problems with rayon dulling the needle quickly?
