New fabrics are coming on the market all the time. Remember that soft fabrics may
need to be stabilized a little. This is especially true when buttonholing,
monogramming, or design sewing as the stitches are so close together. A backing of
tissue paper or interfacting may assist you in your sewing. The paper may be torn
away and the interfacing cut away after sewing. Check your fabric by making
samples of the designs, monograms, or buttonholes on a scrap of fabric before
sewing on your garment.
