Pretty amateur question for all the pros out there... but I'm having difficulties stitching together what amounts to 4 layers of jersey (t-shirt material) together in long stitches. The problem I'm getting is serious fabric buckling after the stitch is done. I suspect that it's in part my irregular feeding of the fabric into the machine but predominantly the fact that 4 layers stacked just won't feed evenly since the advancing mechanism contacts only the bottom layer of fabric thus over long stitches you get irregular feeding of the bottom layer advancing "normally" while the top layers begin to lag.
Are there any tips to sewing this stretchy fabric while being able to avoid this? Would a walking foot machine eliminate this? Should I pin all the pieces and then just systematically remove the pins as I sew?
I'm doing this on a serger if that helps.
Thanks guys!!!!
