My sewing machine is not catching the bobbin thread when I'm trying to sew stretch fabric. It works fine on regular cotton, but doesn't pick up the stitch when I put in the jersey fabric. I am using the right needle and the machine and bobbin are threaded and inserted correctly. It seems to be just a problem with the stretchy fabric - any ideas?

You need a ball-point needle to sew jersey fabrics. A regular needle will cause skipped stitches.
Im using a ball point needle and its still not stitching
Jersey is a challenge. I used to put a piece of tissue paper or food grade wax paper (waxed--not sure what the official name is) and pin it to the area then stitch. That seemed to help it glide and everything catch. Then you just tear it away.
