I just use ordinary polyester thread but use a slightly longer stitch length, tissue paper under your stitching line stops any jams from the fine fabric into the feed dog, a new sharp needle is essential,,also allow the fabric to feed naturally into the machine hold flat but not taught. Good luck it's always daunting trying new fabrics

<p>I agree with Anna about the thin paper, that might help. But have you checked your tension? Experiment with a few strips before sewing your garment. </p>
<p>Regular thread should work, but I find that Gutterman's Silk thread is thinner than cottons and polys. I've never worked with another brand's silk thread to tell you if those are thinner.</p>

<p>I hope my advice works and my bad english won't scare you :)</p>

<p>When I sew chiffon I always use normal polyester tread, and remember -- put the same colour in "upper" and "down" thread (oh my, I don't know how this is called... a bobbin?) - it'll show through fabric.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Take as thin needle as you can, but more importantly check if it' s sharp, as it's even more important than having a thin needle.</p>

<p>And one more trick thank saved my life with chiffon - when you sew or pin make it throught a newspaper, the thinner you got the better. It'll easily tear when you finish and your throat plate (is this how it's called?) won't pull out the the fabric.</p>

<p>Hope this help :) </p>
