Slippery Slippers

[dana-knockouts.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone!

I'm in the process of making some slippers using felted recycled sweaters and this tutorial: http://www.ikatbag.com/2008/12/dress-up-box-tippytoes.html

I tried using suede on the bottom but my sewing machine doesn't seem to be able to sew through suede at all.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can use or add to the bottom of the slippers to make them more grippy?

Thanks!

Also, tags never seem to work for me.
