Problems sewing stretch fabrics
Does anybody have any suggestions for successfully sewing stretch fabrics? I have tried sewing zig zag seams and also using a walking foot, but with no success. I couldn't believe just how difficult this has proved to be and am ready to bin the project altogether.

There is a needle made for stretch (knits) plus you do a very small zig zag or some machines actually have a stretch stitch built in, even my machine that is close to 30yrs has this feature. There is clear stablizing tape that you can run along the seam as well. Do a google search, I would bet there is a you tube video on it.
