I’m currently working on McCall’s 6750.
I’m making the sleeveless version, omitting the armhole facings. I’m using Liberty Tana Lawn for the first time, as I got a single yard as a gift.
This colorway is Pepper E.
Anyway, I’m really starting to wonder if I’ve been misled, as this fabric is kind of terrible to work with. Even using a walking foot, the layers shift and my stitches are uneven. I tried rethreading the machine, cleaning out the machine, a new, smaller needle, different thread, changing the tension – the works, basically! I really think it’s just that the fabric is so lightweight that it’s hard to control. Is this just me? Does my machine need to be punished with a visit to the shop? I don’t have this issue with any other fabric, so my assumption is that I’m missing some vital bit of Liberty sewing info. If I am, let me know, if not… well, I suppose I will continue, since I already sewed all 9 darts, and it won’t take long to finish. I’m not looking forward to buttonholes!
