Love that type of zipper for this.

[@momgrandma5496]

What a cool zipper, someone was on their A-game when they came up with that notion. Thanks for another fantastic tutorial Misty, I love these project bags, they are all the rage it seems. Enjoy camping with the family.

[@lauriefortier3743]

Such a great project! Vinyl bags are my new “thing” for my sewing and knitting projects! Love you all, but please tell Jake we miss him! ❤️

[@lorih5915]

Great project! Thank you for sharing it! Those zippers are awesome! And that sprinkle adhesive...wow!

[@kathyhart5105]

You need to make videos with Liz as the demonstrator. She really is very knowledgeable!!

[@teresayoung4209]

You handled that very well missy.

[@IMOO1896]

That sprinkle on glue is new to me, I’ll need to investigate, this should be a real game changer for batting.

[@bbrown8353]

Speaking of storing my ufo's - I'm going to put grommets in the top corners and I hang them to decorate my craft room! LOL

[@lindajacobs1487]

That's a very good idea!

[@lorislp123]

Thank you for a great tutorial!

[@lindagillespie6556]

💁🏻‍♀️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love you Misty! Cool product will def keep it away from my food and drink! Hahahahaha neat project too👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@tracybingham7739]

When I make vinyl bags I buy a clear shower curtain from the dollar store (preferably Family Dollar). It's thick enough and always holds up perfectly.

[@holiday-td6hx]

While using a Plastic Shower curtain is a great way to save a little $$...depending on what you're going to use the Plastic or if you want to make these for several people in the family, Walmart has the Clear Plastic by the YARD. Walmart (Jo-Ann's has it too) has 1 or 2 different thicknesses as well www.walmart.com/ip/ABBEYSHEA-Okamoto-Clear-Plastic-20gge-30yds-WP-Cuts-Allow-Boat-Top-Window-Plastic-54-100-Polyvinyl-Chloride-PVC-per-Yard/727553123 ********************************************************* Jo-Ann Fabrics has this: www.joann.com/12-gauge-vinyl-54in-clear/1151489.html ******************************************************

[@suejameson1517]

I use a tablecloth from Spotlight! Bit of glitter!

[@tracybingham7739]

Sue Jameson oh great idea!!! I will look for that next time. A girl needs glitter options sometimes!

[@hildiborkowski4436]

The dollar store (any of them) or the grocery store usually have the clear plastic table cloths. They are very durable I’m sure they will work for this project.

[@beyesh3760]

Great idea so you can use different pretty patterns instead of just clear. COOL :)

[@maryjokruer6127]

An easy way to “press” vinyl is to run your iron on your pressing surface to get it warm, then lay the vinyl on the warm area and use your hand to “press” the wrinkles out. Works perfectly!

[@mgs783]

Great project, loving that zipper! Thank you for the off screen helper on this tutorial. She has such a calm and pleasant voice while not interrupting you yet supporting the tutorial content with timely input and insight❣️👍👍

[@bonnieeisenhower1612]

It would be fun to use the Pioneer Woman's quilted placemats to make this. So quick and easy, thank you MSQC

[@lizzystitch4842]

Could use fusible batting.

[@lindamb8962]

I could hear every word Liz said this week!. Thank you for whatever you did to solve this problem.

[@marlahanks7278]

I was going to give a shout out for the same thing!! SOOO much better :)

[@1techieteacher]

Hi from Louisiana!

[@darlenepalmer9837]

Tip, heat up your ironing board pad. Then spread out the vinyl on your heated pad. Will make it softer so you can work with it.

[@bbrown8353]

I always love your live videos - even though I don't often catch them live. I do have a comment on how you are squaring up - especially for those beginners out there. When you are cutting your right side your ruler is completely on he fabric and the part exposed to the blade is cutting into only the scrap. You should turn your fabric to cut the opposite side. When you move your ruler to the opposite edge you are now cutting with your project exposed to the blade, rather than the scrap - a little whoops with the blade and your project could be ruined - or made smaller. Also - especially when cutting a quilted piece like this - your ruler isn't sitting flat - part is on the quilt, part on the table - again it's easier to slip when you do it that way. I can't wait to make a few of these - at least my UFOS will look cute while they're waiting to be finished!

[@wendyshepard2080]

We are gearing up for some long-term RV living/traveling and I've wondered how I'd keep my projects, which currently fly I organize in 12"x12" crafting boxes. This is the perfect answer and can even box corners for more full boxes if necessary. On my bucket list is Hamilton!!!

[@scrappygirl100]

MSQC, can you suggest how I could add a handle to the project carrier?

[@sylviaparnell6736]

Liz is definitely an “asset” to the videos, she clarifies things and brings experiences❤️

[@audreyderby5926]

Sometimes Liz makes Misty a bi flustered, making her think Liz HAS to tell her things. She does not! Misty does fine on her own

[@bernardineisomaki50]

I'm going to use left over 2 1/2" jelly roll strips to make my own "Zippity Done Zippers"

[@yvonnedubois7178]

great idea... will have to get at it soon ! TY

[@maryrichardson5841]

I’m going to use bias fold. Awesome idea

[@kerrychilds7537]

Great idea this way you will have some awesome colours

[@cheryldrotning7184]

Super idea and so simple.

[@patriciapowell6100]

Patty from Mississippi

[@joycekaminski1943]

These pouches would also be good as packing pouches in your suitcase, especially if you boxed the corners a little.

[@eduardachi2571]

this might what i need i have the hardest time doing a quilt sandwich without puckers and the spray does not work for me is this a new product

[@markwilliams1824]

🤣🤣🤣 I’m bald! Don’t have a dryer! 😂😂😂

[@beyesh3760]

with this zippy zipper do you still need to use a zipper foot to sew it on? I didn't see you change your foot in the tutorial.

[@lorrainecaissie]

Plastic will rip if your stitch length is too short, even between layers of fabric, so I use a longer stitch when working with plastic.

[@lindagillespie6556]

So all you do is sprinkle the power and then iron it to fuse it?

[@janewolff2978]

Can you use a fancy zipper?

[@lindagillespie6556]

💁🏻‍♀️Your assistant is alaways amazing❤️❤️❤️ NATALIE, IS IT NATILIE THAT IS ASSISTING YOU WHILE JAKE IS BUSY AT HOME? I cannot remember all Jenny’s kids......Well, Jake i love you nad miss you but ......Natalie you’re an amazing assistant. Thank you ladies♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Linda

[@julzhowlett2200]

Linda Gillespie i think Misty called her Liz. She does sound like Natalie though ,doesnt she b

[@cathynuytten798]

I was thinking about using it with pillow covers, too. I’m making some pillows right now and I always use the two pieces in the back that fold over each other but it’s so bulky. A zipper makes so much more sense! I hope they expand the line with more colors, lengths and even cute patterns!

[@adelawiley2929]

You could use fat quarters as well Misty, coordinating or scrappy...What a cool idea, I am gonna have my 10 yr old grand daughter make one of these for herself.. Thanks

[@cindyw6621]

WOW, love the Zippity done, you could use your Decorative stitches ( if you have them) for that topstitching and a contrast colour. WOW :)

[@cindyw6621]

someone on the live show said the same thing, just after I posted this. :)

[@susanmei9980]

Cindy Wendt, It might not be a good idea on the vinyl side as all that stitching may perforate the vinyl so much that it may tear off. But for the other side of the zip, it would look so pretty.

[@ladyd54]

You could also use fat quarters as well. Using that zipper makes it easier to sew to vinyl without having to use a teflon foot.

[@marcyfarrell5369]

Ok how about lime green, light and hot pink, light blue and dark blue, lavender, and yellow in those zippers please.

[@joycemoore9172]

Could you show how to do a beginner lined bag or tote with the new zipper?

[@tracyw1123]

Another tip for working with vinyl is to use washi or masking/painting tape to tape down a bit of the edge to the cutting mat, which will help hold it still while cutting. Great tutorial!

[@sandyp2485]

I have sewed and quilted for many years. However, I always learn something when I watch your videos. Today I learned of a few really great new-to-me products. Great presentation!

[@rosannelytle6428]

Wonderful project. May all the Missouri Star family have a great Independent's Day.

[@pjinlaca5489]

This is a fantastic project that you’ve made very simple. Thanks! These are going on my gift giving list, so great!!!

[@cheryleaston6820]

Love the project bag. The zippers, wonderful. I see my bank account getting smaller. Lol

[@maryrichardson5841]

I’m going to use my fibreglass window screening. Thank you for a great project

[@bettywhittington625]

I put my vinyl in the car for a few minutes in the heat.

[@gayetolliver9897]

Should the ‘cut’ ends of the zipper be reinforced with some extra stitching ?

[@nancylarson3362]

Make to put over front seat back for child sitting in back seat to have storybook, crayon & color book, etc for long trips. Just add strap to hang over seat

[@danienefritschysaxton9888]

@missouri star company- Misty two sided tape works wonders with vinyl! No pins!

[@chrisklayo9562]

How is that precise on a big quilt is it harder

[@sherrybuskirk6312]

Another tip seen on crafty gemni is to heat the ironing board and lay the vinyl on it very briefly. Seconds. Then its easily plyable

[@eyeonart6865]

make one and put stuff to do for hospital. a paperback book, a crossword puzzle book a pencil. odds and ends.

[@MOFFPEG1]

Awesome tip regarding the adhesive powder. Thank you!!

[@lindagillespie6556]

Oopsie it is Liz???? Sounds like Natalie 😂😂😂😂😂

[@angelalarson5916]

It does sound like Natalie.

[@angelah.2291]

What happened to Mary? We haven’t heard from her since the Covid rules went into affect.

[@GeminiPeg]

Alex Anderson did a demo of Free Fuse and stressed what a scant amount you needed.

[@audreyderby5926]

If you iron the ironing board, then smoothe your vinyl on your ironing board. Works every time

[@carolemartin241]

Place à piece of paper in the back of the vinyl . It is easier to see and eliminate sliding.

[@debpangle9964]

Second time viewing - LOVE this!! 💛🌻💛

[@debbierobl9317]

Just wondering about the quilt behind you. What is that pattern? Thanks!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Hi, Debbie! That's the Missouri Star quilt pattern (one of the best quilt blocks out there in our humble opinion)! Here's the link: www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/detail/29612/missouri-star-quilt-co/missouri-star-quilt-co/missouri-star-quilt-pattern-by-missouri-star

[@5kidsmyhusbandandme]

I was scrolling to find this out as well. I wish when they had a quilt in the back they would mention that in the description. That would be helpful. I just loved the quilt & had to find out. Thanks for asking the same question. 😉

[@mjquilter2019]

Have been waiting for someone to bring the QS Free Fuse to where I live in Canada. Tks. Alex Anderson of QS says you don't need to use much at all, so sprinkle sparingly. I have been wanting to make some of these project bags but have procrastinated. Love those zippers, especially for these type of projects, so much faster and cleaner.

[@maryrichardson5841]

MJ Quilter me too

[@christenakavanagh5696]

Mjquilter, you can get bo-nash fuse it powder in Canada at your local quilt shops. Same powder, use sparingly, it's just like salt.

[@mjquilter2019]

@@christenakavanagh5696 Thank you. I will have to do more calling around. The ones I check did not carry it but I will continue my hunt!

[@brendamills9076]

Hi from Bauxite Arkansas

[@bevh2241]

Alex Anderson showed how to use the Quilters Select Free Fuse on one of her KZbin vlogs. She helped develop the product. After seeing that vlog, it seems as though you used way too much on your project. You might want to check it out. It will last longer and still baste your project.

[@bevh2241]

“Alex Anderson Live: New way to baste a quilt” youtube show name.

[@marysewitsky4823]

Yes, she did use too much. I used less and it worked better.

[@cathyguzick279]

Do you have a tutorial on patch work project bag

[@pamelafrench3564]

What is the name of your chalk pen?

[@beverleybrowning3480]

I'm reviewing this tutorial again now that I have time to make some bags. I dislike 505 spray because of the smell, but there are a number of other sprays that have little to no odor (eg from Amazon). Would it not make sense to quilt one whole piece of fabric(with backing and batting) for both the back and top piece at the same time? Then just trim off the piece needed for the top section. Cheers and thanks for the great pattern and instructions! 🇨🇦🍁

[@patricialeshkow6387]

Loved watching this video. So much easier following your directions and learning about June Tailor zippers!

[@madhattersoriginal6258]

MEGA Vinyl Tip! Iron your ironing mat/board till its hot. Quickly place your vinyl on the board. Press down with your hands to smooth the vinyl. Hugs to all Kate in New York ❣

[@dtalipsky]

Hi Misty, Is there anything special to do if you do not have the June Tailor zippers? I have a boat load of Terry Atkinson zippers that I need to use up. Loved the video! Thank you. donna

[@debbiedempsky8160]

Use a hot iron on your ironing board just to heat the surface. Then, lay your piece of vinyl down on the hot surface. It will soften up your vinyl and allow you to smooth out any wrinkles. It's also a great way to soften up your vinyl on a pouch that needs to be turned right sides out. Less struggling with it when the vinyl is more pliable.

[@abbeyp8834]

Does anyone know what gauge the vinyl is. (0.2 mil . I'm not sure what this means in guage.🤔

[@irenamangone]

In Australia we have. Fusible batting. By Hobbs. Either single side or both sides. Fusible.

[@barbaradumler6503]

You should watch Alex Anderson's video on the fuse product. You are using way too much.

[@dianel8530]

Could you suggest a tutorial for learning how to do the binding? Would love to make this bag as a gift but have never attached binding. Truly need a beginner tutorial.

[@lindyduree2229]

You could have used that zipper on your chess/checker board. I loved making that project, by the way.

[@mumoftwob1793]

Has anyone found these zips in the UK? I’m struggling to find them anywhere!!

[@victoriarobison5006]

Great for “RV people

[@Jgiu8909]

If you iron your ironing board for a min or so and then lay your vinyl on the ironing board, it will flatten your vinyl with the warmth from the ironing board

[@debralucca7527]

You don’t need that much stuff. Less is better. Works great

Hope we can get this kind of zipper in Australia.

This would be great for storing my cross-stitch projects! Consider me inspired!

[@sandracnix]

Or run your iron over a ironing mat then lay vinyl on it and press with your hand

[@kimmenuckles3926]

Love this project. Just ordered a couple of the zippers and the vinyl and placed the powder on my wish list. I see gifts being made

[@mumoftwob1793]

I’ve made 6 of these and used them as presents too love this video I always rewatch before making!! I miss Mistys makes small projects

[@jhwilliams6550]

Have you tried making the cosmetic bag? I tried one but wanted to keep the lining separate so the edges were enclosed. I guess the extra width at the zipper caused the lining to attach to the casing and caused a pleated area inside. It’s hard to explain but I don’t think they will work for a finished on the inside type of lining.

[@lindagillespie6556]

Ive laid pieces of the vinyl between fabric on low and that works to unroll it

[@kristenfisher1815]

Sew tite magnets are perfect for vinyl
