Default Please help! - Satin Stitching

If your needle is at fault (gumming up) - try squeezing a few drops of
"Sewer's Aid" on the spool of thread. Repeat every hour or so, as the stuff
does evaporate. I found my needle gumming up when I used the "NO sew"
Heat'n'Bond G and also when I used Press'n'Seal on quilts. I got my
bottle at TSWLTH in the notions dept.

It could be a problem with the bonding agent used to fix the fabric and
the stiffener. This could be "gunking up" your needle. I'm not sure what
you could do except try another iron-on agent and see if it helps. Or
just try wiping the needle regularly and checking that the eye is not
being "filled".
