[amayausers] Re: sewing on denim

Hi Terri,
You might want to try two layers of fusible poly and make each one lay in a 
different direction.  I sometimes use two layers of cutaway poly mesh when 
doing designs on knit polo shirts as well.  Also just hoop taut--don't 
stretch the fabric if it is the thin, soft denim.  That could also make 
puckers.
