Tip For Sewing With Vinyl
 
Since I plan to make myself a pocketed over-the-door interfacing holder using vinyl, I was glad to find this tip! 😃

Thanks for the post.

Really cool ideas, and so simple! Now as long as I can remember it for when I need it.....

Great idea. I use a Teflon foot when I sew vinyl and use cash register tape on the bottom (the old fashioned one not the thermal one).

Thanks for sharing this, I usually use Silicone Spray Lubricant, this looks much easier. The spray sometimes chocks me for I have Lung problems. Going to try this today. Joy

Can you post a picture or a link to the pattern for the over the door interfacing holder. I am reorganizing and could use the holder.

Thank you!!! Just as I needed some info, it magically appears in front of me. LOL. I help with Boxer Luv Rescue in Phoenix and was just asked to make some doggie coats (big LOL) from a mesh fabric (something I have never sewn) with vinyl pockets (which I have never sewn) on the sides to put papers in. The pups wear these to events to advertise they are available for adoption.

Got any tips for working with mesh?? (WHERE WAS MY NO BUTTON THAT DAY??) LOL

I thought I knew what the answer would be and it was....bias binding on the edges. This website has instructions for making a mesh beach bag which is sorta similar to what you want to do. http://www.instructables.com/id/How-...-Bag/?ALLSTEPS

Perfect thank you!!

A roller foot works too.

Thank you so much for that wonderful tip. I purchased several pieces of clear vinyl on clearance, I'm sure I had some purpose in mind, but also the price was difficult to pass up. Now I can use those vinyl pieces and make some pouches for various items. I have recently become addicted to coloring books for adults (adult coloring books doesn't sound quite right); but after awhile the colored pencil box has started to come apart from frequent use, so I need to find another way to store them, and your tip has definitely helped me solve that problem. Thank you so much. I love all the QB people, as they are fun, friendly, show us beautiful quilts and are there when you ask for solutions to quilting problems as well as other problems. Thanks again.

I make wallets and always have trouble with the vinyl id pocket.I'll try this. Thanks so much. I did copy off the 2 pictures and made a note on them for reference later.

Maggie, I don't have a pattern, but here is one for sale on Nancy's Notions. Once I saw it, I knew I could make it myself. ☺

That's pretty cool. I think I might make one too. Thanks.

Thank you. I was afraid to sew vinyl. Now will try it.
