My Janome sewing machine is about 6 years old and fairly basic and is sewing it up quite nicely. My Janome switches over to stretch stich mode and has a kind of an overlock /serger stitch. This seems to be working so well I might use it to sew a stretch top although you can't adjust it as much as you would a serger. Sandra B also suggests a 3.00 mm straight stitch, so that might help your Singer.<br /><br />I love the sound of your flannel gown. I am thinking of making one in cotton for warmer months.

Yes, it's hard to find the perfect dressing gown--I don't like ones that zip or button, it has to be the right color and weight and fabric. I made one out of flannel once that I really liked but it finally wore out. Fleece is a good choice.<br /><br />Did you have any problems sewing on the fleece? My old Singer doesn't like it and often skips stitches. I have to be sure I have a stretch needle, not a ballpoint, and even then it doesn't always work.AudraBark1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07952898681777147816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205683711813569180.post-23164193391755580522013-06-24T14:07:02.698+10:002013-06-24T14:07:02.698+10:00That is such a cute dressing gown!
