Espectacular trabqjo,pero si hiciieran el trabajo en una maquina recta industrial creo yo acapararia mas suscriptores,pues esa maquina ribeteadora es muy cara y muchos no pueden tenerla,en cambio una recta industrial simple o de doble arrastre es mas facil de conseguir .

You can also use petroleum jelly (vaseline) when you sew. Oil tends to run and stain on your lining.

please is it compulsory to use chipboard or can i just use just kariboard for it and can i use manual machine for this bag

[@ErisFoundation]

You get to decide on what stiffeners you prefer, You can use kariboard but just take into account that it's going to be very stiff at the sides. I have heard accounts of people using manual sewing machine....... Test it out to see if it works

Glueing two pieces back to back might actually work, you can try two small pieces to see if works out for you if not you could use old cereal boxes in place of chipboard.
