While you can crush the Oreos while they're at room temperature, the filling may gum up the blades of your blender or food processor. To quickly crush the Oreos, freeze them first. Simply lay the whole Oreos on a baking sheet and stick them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Put the frozen cookies right into a blender or food processor. Keep in mind that you'll probably need to blend more cookies than you think to get the amount of crumbs you'll need for a recipe. For example, if you need 1 cup (100 g) of crushed Oreos, place 1 cup (or about 12 whole cookies) of whole Oreos in the food processor. Depending on how much crushed Oreos you'll need, you may need to crush the cookies in batches so they'll fit in your food processor. Put the lid on the blender or food processor and pulse the cookies 5 to 10 times. Depending on how powerful your blender or food processor is, the Oreos should become crumbs. If your blender is deep, the cookies may become stuck underneath the blade. Stop the machine and either push the cookies closer to the blades or use a wooden spoon to stir and dislodge any stuck cookies before you continue to crush them.

Regular needles may cut through the spandex fibers and result in damaged fabric. Ballpoint needles have rounded tips so they will go in between the fibers when you sew, so this type of needle is much less likely to damage your fabric. See your sewing machine’s instructions for how to install a new needle. Too much pressure on the presser foot of your machine will pull on the fabric as you sew it. This can result in puckered areas along the seam. To reduce the chance of puckered stitches, reduce the pressure on the presser foot. Set your machine’s presser foot pressure to 1 before you begin sewing. Check your sewing machine’s manual to find out how to change the presser foot pressure. It is not necessary to use a special stretchy thread for spandex because you will be using a stitch setting that allows the fabric to stretch. However, all-purpose polyester thread has a bit of give to it, so it is a great choice for sewing spandex. Choose an all-purpose polyester thread in a color that matches your spandex fabric. A narrow zigzag stitch works well for sewing spandex because it will provide slack that allows the spandex to stretch. Set your machine to the zigzag stitch and adjust the stitch length to 0.5 millimetres (0.020 in). If your fabric is a blend that is not too stretchy, then you may adjust the zigzag stitch to a longer length, such as 1.5 millimetres (0.059 in). However, it is important to keep the zigzag stitch within the range of 0.5 millimetres (0.020 in) to 1.5 millimetres (0.059 in) so that the seams will stretch with the fabric. Check your sewing machine’s manual for instruction on how to change the stitch setting. With many fabrics, it is helpful to pull the fabric taut when you sew it. However, this strategy does not work with spandex because it can lead to puckering. When you are working with spandex fabric, do not pull on it. Don’t let the fabric hang over the edge of your work surface either because this will also pull on the fabric.
