Sewing PUL with other fabrics - frustrated!

You could try a walking foot.  I know that some people use one of those when the fabrics are slippery so both the top and bottom layer are being fed through the machine at the same time.  It is supposed to help with bunching.  I don't have one but I am thinking about getting one for when I so things that are thick like quilting or for slippery fabrics like satin.  I have made it work so far but I think it would be easier.

Are you using a sewing machine or a serger? I used to have a Brother serger that would rip through nursing pads that nobody's business- never gave me any issues. I would do them with a few layers of flannel, some waterproof nylon and lace on top. When I upgraded my machine, I had to totally stop making nursing pads for sale because the stupid thing, despite it's outrageous price tag, could not handle those continuous tight turns. I'm not sure whether it just had a different feed or whether it had a larger foot or what, but I just gave up.

I've since done nursing pads on the same serger, but only for personal use; they're never as pretty as I prefer.

Anyway, I think it's the shape combined with the quirky nature of sewing PUL that is making it so frustrating for you. On a machine, a walking foot may make a difference, but it will still likely be challenging.

I've heard that PUL can be temporarily secured with a regular ol' glue stick but haven't tried that myself. If you give it a go, come back and tell me how it worked. I'm curious. On a serger, I might avoid that, however, as it could gum up the knife. On a machine, it shouldn't create issues.

My walking foot rocks.  Like butta'.  I only regret going so long before using it.  It helps w/ everything, so it was worth it. 

PUL to stretchy knits is very difficult.  That silky bamboo velour is the worst.  Poly fleece is stretchy, but not too when paired w/ PUL for pockets.

I use tissue paper or wax paper which work well, but I want a teflon foot.
