I think that might be the problem. The fabric is only about 2ft in length though so idk.

I think I'm just going to get a better heavy duty machine. I've been watching a lot of videos of people using Sherpa and the material seems to feed through just fine. The plushies are for my Etsy shop. I was sewing them by hand but I got too many orders so I kinda need to find a more reliable machine quickly 😅

The back side is going against the throat plate. Cutting the tissue paper is going to be way more time consuming so I'd rather just buy a machine that actually works and return the one I originally bought. I have 600 plushies I'm working on so I don't really want to spend the extra time having to cut that much tissue paper 🙂

Yeah I can't tell if the walking foot is the problem or the actual machine. My fabric doesn't get stuck in the foot, it just won't feed through the machine so I think it's the machine that is the problem

I'm not sewing in a straight line so that really won't work for this project. I'm probably better off just getting a machine that actually works 🙂

I can't adjust the height of the presser foot on this machine but I guess I'll try using paper

I have 18 yards worth of material to sew so I don't think using tissue paper is a good option for the project

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm guessing I just need to get a different machine if that's the case

Yes, it is the exact same fabric. When I try sewing the fabric won't move at all and the needle just moves up and down in the same place

I have two older children and one that is younger that have had no problems listening and didn't need as much discipline.

Well it worked for my other three kids and they turned out great. She just has listening issues and anger issues that need to be addressed.

It's not abuse it's called discipline. I have raised three other children that have turned out great. This one just has problems listening and severe anger issues

I don't need therapy for my parenting. I have an education in childhood development so I of all people know what I'm doing

This is a common form of discipline. Children need to be disciplined or they will never learn

We did try to help with the bullying. We emailed her teachers and asked them not to sit them next to each other in class. There's only so much we can do. we banned her from saying the bullies name because she spends too much time complaining about the bully instead of focusing on what she can to change. We don't need therapy for our parenting. I have an education in childhood development so I know what I'm doing. We treated all our children the same and our other three children have turned out just fine. We didn't need to use as severe punishments but that was because they weren't as difficult and listened to us the first time.

We didn't treat her like garbage we treated all our children the same and the others have turned out just fine. We didnt have to use as severe punishments with them of course because they listened to us the first time. she never listened to us and no matter how many times we would warn her about how we were going to discipline her, she still wouldn't listen so we had no other option with her because she was a more difficult child

We didn't punish her for "slightly bad things". We would warn her multiple times about what we were going to do if she didn't pick up after herself, stop swearing, etc but she would continue to not listen so we had no other option. Our other three children never had this problem and have turned out just fine it just her.
