If you are afraid of using the iron to get the crease out of the vinyl, use your hair dryer instead

[@ShabbyFabrics]

What a great suggestion! Thanks for watching! -Kristen

[@robertaarrowsmith2860]

[@redsandrock8073]

I have struggled for years in getting my magic binding to work. It’s always been hit or miss on getting it right on the first try. You have made it easy to understand, to do and it comes at correct first time. LOVE the tutorials of Shabby Fabrics! I learn how to do the project and there’s always new tips and tricks!! Thanks

We just love Tammy. Thanks for watching! -Kristen

[@sherryfaires7931]

Thank you for such wonderful directions! I received this set in the mail today, so now I have a head start! I have never seen your technique for connecting binding! I can’t wait to try it! I am glad you explained why you did not stitch the binding on by machine. I wouldn’t have thought about making weak lines in the vinyl! It makes sense!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hi Sherry - We're so glad this project inspires you! Thank you very much for your comment. -Michelle

[@bridgetdevereauxwhite5646]

If you put tape on the underside of your sewing foot, it would prevent the vinyl from sticking. A teflon foot as well? This worked for me sewing face shields for kids during the Covid outbreak. Instead of doing the first 1/8th" seam line connecting the back to the front, just wonder clip the layers with the binding, just to start, and make sure nothing slips as you sew. You can still do your mitered corners when you get there.Then sew the binding down through to the back using a longer stitch length through the edge of the front binding. Still 2 rows of stitching through the vinyl without having to hand stitch. Going through the front binding edge, 1/16" or so, secures the vinyl even better. Would make sewing a minute or two longer but saves time not having to hand stitch, yuk, lol. I'll have to try this myself on this project bag. Worked for my face shields when making my own gkids sun visor type face shield using vinyl as the shield. Not all kids wanted to wear a face mask. I used binding for an eye opening so it wouldn't alter their vision any. It's a blessing to have you back Tammy. You and Jen truly are shabby fabrics team anchors!!!

Love this tutorial

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We are so happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! -Kristen

[@susanayers2781]

Love this project bag! Suggestion: instead of using your iron and press cloth to get the wrinkles out of the vinyl, use a hair dryer set at medium and a few inches away from the vinyl and the wrinkles will come out (I wouldn't chance ironing vinyl). Also, if you find that the vinyl is a little stiff when sewing, just go back to the hair dryer and warm the vinyl up a bit and it will be very easy to sew. Thank you for sharing this project.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We’re so glad you enjoy this fun project! Thanks so much for sharing those great tips!! -Michelle

[@fiebig70]

thanks for tutorial

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much for watching. -Michelle

[@kimbook5304]

Heating up your ironing surface with the iron helps too!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That's a great tip! -Michelle

[@jenihansen7201]

Ok , I finally found this again. Thank you Abby. I do not get paid until the 10th. So I cannot order until the 10th. Can you hold these for me until then ? I have ordered two different sets with 2 each and some of that tape, etc. Thank you again Abby.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Unfortunately we don't offer that as an option but we should still have some in stock for you! Thank you for your support and comment! - Abby

[@michellefrothingham4275]

Great tutorial Tammy👍. Wondering what the largest size of bag availability 🤔

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Thank you for watching! Each kit comes with the materials to make two bags. They finish to approximately 18 inches and 16 inches!

[@dacweekend]

How did Tammy attach the backing fabric on the quilt as you sew pattern? Did she use a spray adhesive?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hi Delores - Yes, Tammy used a spray adhesive, then stitched all the way around it, to attach the backing fabric to the template. Thanks so much for watching :) -Michelle

[@elizabethk8938]

Would you be able to use a nonstick foot to sew the around the bag?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We haven't tried using that foot, but it sounds like it may work well :) -Michelle

[@paulabecker7483]

I used a heating pad to get the creases out.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Thats a great suggestion! We appreciate your support and comment! - Abby

[@cynthialeslein1786]

In the 12 - 13 minutes of the video it "sounds like" we first SEW on the green line (made from the back side as the line to follow to finish combining the "log cabin style" block - and then CUT ON THE SAME LINES?? Watched several times, and do not find the answer. Is the final outside of the block the cutting OR the sewing line?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Yes you will sew on the green stitching line with your machine, then after that you will cut on that green thread line that you stitched making it easier for you to trim. Hope this helps and thanks for your comment! - Abby

[@cynthialeslein1786]

@@ShabbyFabrics Thanks SO much for your quick response. So, this is simply to make sure it gets cut properly. As always, love your site, and your projects!

[@barbarakempen2482]

I think it would be great to add a handle.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Great suggestion! We appreciate your support and comment! - Abby

[@jenihansen7201]

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We believe in you and it's okay to mess up. The more you do it the better you will be! Thank you for your comment! - Abby
