If the swimsuit is lycra, use as size 9 or ll needle and not too much pressure on the presser foot. You may have to play with the tension to get it correct. Go slow and take your time. It can be tricky, but you should be able to get it to work. HTH.

Good luck,
Sheila

She wears a DD bra, and I am trying to alter the bra portion of the 2 piece suit to fit her. I need suggestions on how to add the support she needs and make the cups larger.
