I really struggle with sewing visors. What thread and needle size do you use? My base is chipboard, 1/8" foam and whatever the material is. My machine has a hard time sewing through 4 layers of material and 2 layers of foam and chipboard. It is especially hard to do the first back stitch neatly. Maybe my machine is limiting? I have an Artisan compound walking foot (basically like a consew). Also what is the trick to getting the stitch high up on the visor when the bracket is not removable? Any tips on visor construction would be appreciated! This is my first post :)
