GUYS *deep inhale* SO I was watching PhoenixWolf and BellaCoyote on TinyChat and I asked them what sewing machine they used. I got the usual back (they told me what they used but that most any sewing machine will work) so I told them I was having troubles with mine for some reason. It would not take my fur! I thought it was just the machine since I had tried EVERYTHING! Then I asked them about my thread... I was using upholstery thread and apparently that does not go well when not using an upholstery machine..... OOHHHH!!!! She said tht she had broken her machine trying to run upholstery thread through it *wince* SO I ran upstairs to my room and hesitantly tried sewing some scrap fur together using regular thread and my usual ball-point needle. IT WORKED!!! I now can use my sewing machine!!! Previously I had been doing LITERALLY EVERYTHING by hand!!! BUT NOW *gasp* MY WHOLE WORLD HAD CHANGED (/°3°)/ which also means that I did all of that work just because I was too stupid to try lighter thread ;u; those are hours I will never get back... NOW I KNOW!
Guys I am so excited! I was gonna buy a new machine and I would have had the same problem and less money XD oh sometimes I am just.... me hahaha

What do you have? Mine is a brother, and I've been told its the worst for sowing fur.
You need to make sure you're using the proper needle. I use a ball-point needle. This is the most recommended by... pretty much everyone that has worked with fur as far as I've seen.
It would really help with the pants I'm making for me new suit.
I'm a little worried about using a machine though. I hardly ever used one, and I don't wanna mess anything up.
But yeah, I'll get that needle and try that.
Just felt.
