How in the @*&^@&!#$@ do you sew spandex??? Give me 12 layers of brocade and I'm good. The finest silk organza? Fine. Add a little stretch and I'm a goner... I'd love some real tips on working with this stuff besides pin Pin PIN the crap out of it 'cause it's slippery as h*ll.

I have ball-tipped needles, a regular machine and a serger. Now all I need is the little elves to come and make my daughter's costume in the night...

several years ago i used to sew my younger cousins iceskating dresses with a pfaff overlock.
it is the only machine i've had that i can actually make strechy seams with that looks good....

that's all advice i can come up with, since i too find strechy fabrics something evil. good luck.
