I would like to learn some techniques for sewing with sheer fabrics because they have a tendency to slide not only while cutting but also when trying to sew pieces together. I recently learned a few things about sewing knits but still find difficulty sewing swimsuit material. I think it is because, again, the material slides when trying to work with it.
