Interesting! I wonder if the problem I'm thinking of was originally a result of inexperienced sewing, which I misinterpreted as fabric properties. It's the sort of thing that I did years and years ago, thought "huh, doesn't work" and changed methods.
With three responses that I'm interpreting as "go ahead!" and none against, I guess I'll just get sewing! Thank you!
