In the spirit of never late than never: have you tried placing a piece of tissue paper under your fabric?

But I do remember the ensuing history. Every time I washed them they shrank and shrank and shrank and so became quite thick. Nice and absorbent however! My daughter is begging me to weave her some. My guess is, with that sett, you are going to have a lot of shrinkage, but.....they will get very very absorbent as they shrink!Peg in South Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886923838871937466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-33921881433083433792008-06-12T18:18:00.000-07:002008-06-12T18:18:00.000-07:00I wonder if changing the type of needle would help...I wonder if changing the type of needle would help with the punch-through. Either a very sharp one to pierce the threads, or a ball-point to slide past the threads. Also a straight stitch throat plate helps a lot- instead of the slotted zig-zag plate. The straight stitch plate only has a small hole and there is less fabric deflection.<BR/>KimmenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
