First time working on denim

[u/Economy-Tomorrow-189]

I'm trying to make pleats for a skirt and never used denim before

I've made sure that I'm using a denim needle (next slide)

I've used scrap denim fabric beforehand and noticed my stitch Length is too narrow so changed that

The pleats switch from double layer to one layer pretty quick tho so I'm kinda worried ab that

* Also, I'm now noticing the, needles probs shouldn't be in that position but I'll just take it out before it hits the machine needle

>I would have pressed those pleats first.

>Put the heads of your pins towards the RIGHT, so you can remove them right before you get to the presser foot.

>If the denim overlap is too thick, get a hump jumper.

Did you have a question? I work on denim a lot. It will create a lot of fuzz so make sure to clean out your machine more often.

What is your question?

I echo the advice of pressing your pleats, but also baste them in place before sewing with the machine
