I wanted the jacket to challenge me, particularly because I am sewing on faux leather. Believe me this has been a bear of a challenge. The fabric is thick to begin with and when sewing through two thicknesses it is rather difficult and sewing very slowly is the best way to handle this.
I have switched back and forth between walking foot, zipper foot and Teflon foot. The walking foot has been a huge success in sewing layers together.
I just completed inserting the sleeves which was the most difficult sewing thus far. Photos to follow.
