And in true me fashion, because I have never ever had a machine that just worked, the machine has once again started to make suspicious clank-clank-clank noises, get stuck, and the motor cries out horrible when I try to sew.

If the fabric weren't so goddamn prone to fraying, I would fucking STAPLE it in place.

I just don't get it. The top thread tension was at 4 (out of 9) and the bottom tension is perfectly fine, and yet the fabric puckers and curves to the top as if the top tension were MASSIVELY to high?! I've reduced it to 2 and the problem persists. I don't get it.

This was a nearly straight edge when I cut it, now look at it. What the hell.

I don't believe in gods or spirits, but since every single sewing endeavour I've tried has failed catastrophically in unforeseen and often heretofore-thought-impossible ways, the conclusion that I must be cursed becomes ever more inescapable.

Haha, while I read your planned sewing process and think, "Not in a million years!" Your projects sound extremely daunting, and there's that small issue of a tight timeline. But, keep on keeping on, if you enjoy the process, the product, or both!
