First, you have to make sure your needle's eye is large enough for the thicker thread to go through. Second, you may have to adjust your tension: the upper thread may need to be tighter to pull the bottom thread through the thicker fabric... <br /><br />You have to experiment. Sometimes the bobbin case screw needs to be loosened (loosening the bobbin thread tension) to make it easier for the top thread to pull it out.Peter Lappinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109154527996679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-6022235881965504462011-05-03T14:53:16.649-04:002011-05-03T14:53:16.649-04:00Peter: Do you do both upper and lower thread with ...Peter: Do you do both upper and lower thread with the denim/think thread?

So I'd say I'm a high waisted jeans wearer. I'm not surprised since I like my pants at my waist too. <br /><br />I'll take my measurements later to make sure I'm tracing the correct size. This is my first time making jeans and I'm very excited. I lean more towards the stonewashed color and those are hard to find. Now I get to make my own. Yay!<br /><br />Gotta remember to prewash to fabric. I've got like three different shades of denim fabric.
