I am a weaver...got my JanomeHD1000 to sew my inkle bands and other hand woven fabric into bags, but to my dismay the machine just bucks and jams and will not sew through the woven bands. Can any one offer ideas, solutions.... I am feeling a little desperate! Linda ------------------------- peace on earth.... it's up to us

My thoughts would be that the band is too think, dense for the needle to penetrate successfully. Have you tried using a denim needle? ------------------------- If I am not in the kitchen, check the sewing room! Edited: 12/22/2012 at 01:19 AM by Embroiderr
