Got a question for all you "Bag Ladies"
What thread do you use to make those wonderful bags? Would Isacord work or do I need to use cotton? I have both.

I like to use a strong poly thread on mine, but a good strong cotton would also work fine. If you're making a super heavy-duty bag you might want to consider using upholstery thread.

Use the upholstery thread when making the body of the bag and make sure that you use it when you attach the handles. Unless the handles go completely around the bag, I attach them by sewing a square the size of the handle, then an "X" thru the square. The square is just shy of the width of the handle. Assume that she's going to load it up with books then grab it by one handle!
