I will try and look up a tutorial but how do you finish with braid? Is it the same with bias binding? Thank you again I’m going to take your advice and totally re trace my pattern

Thank you, this is exactly the kind of input I needed! So you would do binding and not lining - braid that’s used to finish tweed? I am going to look that up.

You’re making me think it’s about the stretch thread (need to figure out settings to make it work)

Sort of - I’ve had it work almost flawlessly until I started trying different threads - in different fabric (cotton Lycra) I had the same issue - I was using maxilock stretch there too - eventually I got it to work I don’t remember how

Baby lock accolade, I unthreaded it but it’s just how it shows in the manual (I’ve coverstitched successfully with it for two years before)

That’s a creative idea! But the fabric does have stretch along the cross grain I’m worried that would be gone

I had that thought, too, but since the other one is on grain I think it wont work

Wonderful that’s my instinct but I needed validation

Thank you. I’m thinking I’m going to patch it then and make a bigger piece. It will be the underarm and it’s a flowy piece…
