When you are adding your handles, insert a 3 inch loop of ribbon in the centre of one side as well. It makes it easier to hang them at the checkout that way.😉

Where would you hang it? We have different foldable bags, we put on inside another and put them on the belt infront of our foods, the checker checks the bags incase we stuffed something in.

It's funny Sharon, when I first started making the supermarket bags, I always added the loop, and then the stores changed their layout. Now they have the old layout again and the loops are useful once again.😁

Thank you Joy. Pricing will depend mostly on how much you pay for your fabric. I don't plan on selling these ones just yet (I haven't even sold any strawberry bags), but because they only take about 15 min to make, I'd sell them at about $10 based on my labour only. If I had to purchase the fabric, I'd need to recover the price I paid, and then some so I'd make them $15 (I still buy fabric wholesale). Not sure how it compares to your exchange rate though, and your fabric is less espensive than here too. We have several community groups called Boomerang Bags in Australia, and they make so many of these very lightweight bags for free, that I don't think I'd be able to sell many at all 😁

Hi Christine, I have watched all your videos and I was influenced by your reviews on the ProSew industrial so much that I bought one and am loving it. However, I saw you sew this fine,silky fabric with the ProSew and wondered how. Mine would chew this love,y material. I mainly bought it for vinyl and leather bag making and love it for that, but it gives me problems with linings. I feel it could be due to tension, but I’m unsure as to how to correct it. Can you give me any advice. Also I’m a little isolated from retailers of these machines as I live in southern Tasmania, so I can’t just “pop in” to ask.

Sorry for the delay in responding Gaye. Is it the same model as mine? Have you tried adjusting the foot pressure? If you call Adam at ProSew in Port Macquarie, he will be able to advise you. He's very helpful. There's also the Jack Sewing machine Facebook page that will help too. It's run by ProSew dealers🙂

@@ChristinesHomeAffairs I totally understand the delay Christine after noting your health issues post only long after I posted. I did take your advice and rang Adam. He was so helpful. Yes mine has a walking foot and doesn’t perform as kindly as yours on fine fabrics, but he also suggested a smaller needle size. I was a little hesitant to ring him for such a minor problem, but he was just so kind and helpful. Hope you feel better soon, I just love your videos.
