This is kind of weird problem I have a hard time explaining.
When I go to try to do the mitered inner bias tape corner method, the one where you kind of sew a zig zag down the middle of your bias tape. It's from an old tutorial that's now on instructables. I'm trying to do that around a mandarin collar and down the front edge.
I have a hard time pulling back all of the fabric on the spot where you do the final steps, and when the fabric is all pulled back it creates a bump that is in the vicinity of my sewing foot. It causes the foot to slide down off of it and make the thread length get all messed up and most times it knocks the whole thing off of the line I'm trying to sew down.
Not sure if that made any sense what so ever. I've tried rolling up some other fabric to put along side it to try to balance it out but it doesn't work. It's like my machine just has a really hard time working in small areas.
If anyone is a bias tape wizard and has some other suggestions that would be appreciated.

none of those anons you replied to, but from your passive aggressive comment you seem like you cant take criticism well. for the future, plan a design out on the computer and print it, or plan the sign out in pencil before inking it.
also take a fucking xanax and don't reply if it pissed you off, you'll just embarrass yourself more. yikes.

How do you go about selling prints of your costumes? If you get a photographer to take your photos, do you pay them a flat rate for their time then ask permission to sell some of the photos? Or do you pay them for a portion of what you made off of the print sales?
