If you use the stitch that goes back and forth as a straight stitch you will be doing a triple straight stitch and it will be very strong.
If you have a teflon foot for your machine, it will make things easier to manuvear.




I was thinking of a heavier machine. Sorry for the bad advice :oops: My Baby Lock sews it fine but I'm not familiar with yours. I hope not harm was done. I have worked on a lot of vinyl, too, but in those days we used commercial machines, walking feet etc. Hard to get out of the old days habit. :oops:
