DIY Compression bag for bikepacking/camping/travel + FREE printable

Compression bags are a great way to remove air from bulky items you take bikepacking. This is not a sewing lesson, just showing the construction method of my favourite compression bag.

[@JCX-Outdoors]

Thank you for this great video and the pdf. What did you use to stitch over those seems. I couldnt quite make out the audio in that section. I think its grosgrain? if so what kind/size? thank you

[@rekkiworks]

Thank you. Yes. Its Grosgrain. I believe i used RPET 22mm.

[@emmagillingham9567]

This was super useful- thank you. Can I ask what machine you were using with the grosgrain binding foot?

[@rekkiworks]

Its a Juki 1510.

[@rzhooker]

On the faster machine it didn’t look like you always back stitch to lock the thread, is there a reason why?

[@rekkiworks]

Some times its not needed to back tack eg. when a seam gets folded back on its self and then stitched down.

[@traderz13]

Bit of a noob, can I ask what thread you are using, mine never seems tough enough? Also, you use a lighter a lot, is that because all your fabrics are plastic based and hence its to ‘seal’ them?

[@rekkiworks]

I use a 3ply 250Den nylon thread for materials that are more than 180g/m2 (no formula, thats just what i do). For lighter fabrics i use 3ply 150Den. I use the lighter to melt the ends of thread and the ends of webbing, not the fabric.

What is the clear material called

[@rekkiworks]

Its a light weight Dyneema fabric
