How to Sew with Vinyl on a Domestic Sewing Machine

[@jen_handmade_ks]

I’d never thought to fold the vinyl to see the shape it creates in relation to thickness! Thanks Beth!

Thanks for watching, Jenny! I learned this the hard way after sewing a small curved pouch with glitter vinyl that was super stiff! 🤦‍♀️😆

Great tips! This is the first time I've heard the tips about scratching and checking for cracking. Thank you!

Thanks for watching! I have had problems before with materials messing up after I sewed them together. I hate wasting that time so I am probably overly cautious! Lol

I have just started using vinyl and this was great information. I have the same machine and wanted to ask you to possibly show the foot you are using up closer to see if that is the one I have. The pressure on the foot is what I need to work on getting right because I would have thread break and I have had it rip a notch out of the vinyl from the feed dogs. So glad you put this video out for us to see

Thank you Sharon for saying this. I almost didn't post this because I didn't know if it would help. My foot is the 1/8" hinged zipper foot, $80 🤦‍♀️ but I love it and never need to switch out!!

Where do you get your vinyl please.

The vinyl in this video is from a company that is no longer in business. Sorry. Now I buy mine from jredwardstextiles.com/?ref=beth
