I tried to skip ahead to "advanced" fabrics. Didn't work so well

Cotton fabric, pul, and OBV. I didn't realize how much the velour was going to stretch as I was sewing. Any tips for sewing and serging it? The PUL was also hard to sew on! I need more practice before I use anymore of my good stash.

Pul I would use a stretch needle and if you have a Teflon foot it does make it easier to sew on also make sure you are using stretch fabric settings for your tension on PUL

A walking foot also helps, not as fast but when I have sewing on PUL it has worked awesome!
