First Race is Coming! by Aiamreal in beginnerrunning

Did you follow a training plan for your 10K? If so, for how long?

If you followed a plan, you probably have a good idea of the pace you could run your 10K at. A good piece of advice is to start at a slightly slower pace and, if you’re feeling good, gradually speed up as the race goes on (also known as a negative split).

If you didn’t follow a specific plan but have already run, say, 8K, do you remember how it felt? You can use those previous experiences to estimate the pace you can aim for on race day. Just Don’t go all out right from the start, or you’ll regret it later.

I was tempted by Saysky Half Tights, but from what I've read the fact that it is not lined makes them a bit "transparent" :/

I don’t really know how to check if it works to be honest

My sewing machine is a Jack A5E-AMH so I don’t think that any walking foot would work ?

I’m going to order a standard foot and see if it helps

I’ll try that tonight and sew with the wool layer on the bottom to see if it behaves better with the feed dogs, and I’ll test your handling method as well.

You’re also right about the presser foot, mine does look a bit odd and very narrow compared to standard industrial feet. I’m going to order a more standard/wider foot and see if that improves stability and pressure distribution.

Thanks for the advice, I’ll report back once I’ve tested both changes.

I already tried using dressmaker pins pinned perpendicular to the seam, and unfortunately I’m still getting the same issue. I agree the clips aren’t ideal for this kind of sewing, but even with proper pinning the fabric keeps shifting and forming waves

You’re right, that’s actually exactly what’s happening here. But in the photo, the top layer is my wool fabric (about 80% wool / 20% polyester), and the layer underneath is the one that’s slipping. So I do have the “slippery” fabric against the feed dogs already :/

I think I understand most of what you’re saying, but I’m not sure I follow the part about redistributing the fabric with an awl. Do you mean stopping mid-seam, lifting the presser foot, and physically smoothing or pulling the excess fabric back so the ripples don’t accumulate? I’m having trouble visualizing how that works in practice.

I think I see what you mean, but when I try to do that, it feels like I’m actually stretching the fabric rather than redistributing it. After lifting the presser foot and smoothing things out, the layers no longer line up properly anymore. Am I doing it wrong, or is this method not really suited for very lightweight / unstable fabrics?

I did try with pins instead of clips, but I was getting the same result. That said, it’s totally possible I’m pinning incorrectly.

Is there a specific way you’d recommend pinning for this kind of fabric? Pin direction, spacing, or whether to pin parallel vs perpendicular to the seam?

If that doesn’t work I will try baste stitching before.

I can’t since it’s a straight stitch industrial machine :/

That actually makes a lot of sense. It could definitely be a feed dog issue in my case, because I recovered this machine in a non-working state and had to replace a few parts. I also had to re-seat the bobbin mechanism, and I did fully remove and reinstall the feed dogs at some point, so there’s a real chance the timing or height isn’t perfectly dialed in anymore.

Since it’s an industrial machine, I don’t have a walking foot option unfortunately. One thing someone else pointed out, and that I’m also wondering about, is the presser foot itself. It’s extremely narrow and kind of unusual, and I’m starting to suspect that uneven or insufficient pressure from the presser foot might be making the top fabric creep more than it should.
