Hi from Indiana! Love learning this tonight!

[@SewHungryHippie]

Awesome! Thank you for joining us!

The “Walk away….Come back later” theory comes with age. I learned to sew when I was 10, I am now 79! In my youth I pushed myself to the point I started making mistakes. Now before I frustrate myself, I set it down, shut off the machine and leave!

[@milliemacphee9351]

Wonderful instructions

[@troyjennenegibby9682]

love your sewing machine stickers & sentiment! So cool

[@SewHungryHippie]

Thank yoU!

[@jenn9579]

I just bought the mushrooms, sewing notions and coffee cups and i just love them. I can't wait to start making pouches. Those printed patterns are so cute. Thank you!!!

[@SewHungryHippie]

Have fun!

[@hamabender6280]

That mushroom vinyl is adorable!

[@sallywences7655]

Completely new to sewing but loved your tutorial. Going on your website to purchase everything I need for this project

[@jennifermatchett1330]

Great video!! I have the same machine and I think the thread tension is the white knob on the front with the numbers 1-4 and the top is the pressor foot tension?

[@SewHungryHippie]

Sounds right. I never change either. 😂 When I speak of tension I am referring to foot pressure.

[@tamarakarlin2758]

Super cute pouch

[@SewHungryHippie]

Thank you! 😊

[@jayreebell-palmer550]

I wasn't using 3.5 stitch length. I think that will help me a lot

[@SewHungryHippie]

So happy you joined us! I hope this helps!

[@jowalt1]

If you heat your pressing mat with your iron and sit the vinyl on top it warms it enough to turn easier.

[@SewHungryHippie]

I don't have trouble turning vinyl. ;)

[@dorothymccann2812]

Have you ever mixed jelly and the clear vinyl. Exp: jelly on the ends and vinyl in the middle.

[@SewHungryHippie]

Personally I haven't, but you absolutely can.

[@aprilsodoski4696]

Love these🍄🍄🍄 So cute!

Hi from Florida

[@SewHungryHippie]

Hello Florida! Thank you for watching!

[@berylstoots9800]

I’m new at this and maybe I missed it …what do you use the Goddess Sheet for and how do you use it?

[@SewHungryHippie]

It's a Teflon pressing sheet. :) I use these for bag making when working with vinyl.

[@berylstoots9800]

@@SewHungryHippie Thank you!

[@paulalouis7204]

My only problem was top stitching the zipper, which wasn’t horrible, but the boxed corners were a disaster. I didn’t think of trying my walking foot and finally dug out one of my Featherweights. That worked. Not sure I’ll box the corners next time. I did use all the recommended tools.

[@SewHungryHippie]

You can trim the foam back if it’s too thick for your machine.

[@sewterie]

Awesome tutorial. Thanks.

[@SewHungryHippie]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for joining us!

[@aileenc8622]

Ok thanks for the clarification

[@romelsantini1446]

Hi everyone

[@wendymathews9757]

The knob that you are referring to on the top of your machine is not your tension dial. It is your presser foot pressure. Your thread tension is the dial on the front of your machifromwhere your thread tension disk is.

[@SewHungryHippie]

Yes I know, I think I call it presser foot tension. If I mispoke, oh well sorry!

[@janeoconnell1296]

What’s the trick to boxing corners with vinyl. It’s the only problem I’ve had so far.

[@bobbimcconnell1884]

Nice video thank you

Hello from Ky

Hello there! Thank you for joining us!

[@gracepatane9384]

Absolutely amazing!! What is that vinyl called again?

[@SewHungryHippie]

Thank you ! it is TPU! You can find it on my website by visiting: sewhungryhippie.com/collections/transparent-vinyl

[@christievans1891]

Hey Natalie, I received my TPU order today (love coffee, sugar skulls, and peace ☮️) I cut a test strip and played with tension but I’m nesting like crazy! I sew on a straight stitch PQ Brother 1500 SL with Teflon foot. Any suggestions? ❤thanks

[@SewHungryHippie]

Yes, have you adjusted the foot pressure tension? Have you rethreaded? Are you using Gutermann thread? Microtex needle?

[@christievans1891]

@@SewHungryHippie Hi, yes I adjusted the tension, rethreaded my machine, I’m using Gutermann thread and changed needles. I was able to sew today and interestingly I had a better result with a leather needle. No more nesting 🪡🎉 Thanks!

[@aprilsodoski4696]

So you are talking about Foot Pressure? I thought tension was the rotary dial in the thread path.

[@SewHungryHippie]

Foot pressure yes. It’s the top knob in my Juki

[@thehannahregina]

That's exactly what I was saying. That's not the tension it's foot pressure.

[@lisagilbert8472]

That is so so cute! I love how quick it comes together.. I am glad your video popped up in my feed!!

[@SewHungryHippie]

Thank you! 😊 Welcome to Sew Hungry Hippie!!!! Happy you found us!

[@maureengronefeld5175]

Please let me know what you used to help put the zipper head onto the zipper tape.

[@SewHungryHippie]

A zipper jig! We have them here: pxlxy0okidjkmaiq-1594425421.shopifypreview.com/products/zipper-jig?_pos=1&_sid=d61db9392&_ss=r

[@tamarakarlin2758]

Does the By Annie tape washaway? Can you see it when sewing with it on the zipper with the TPU?

[@SewHungryHippie]

I don’t see it at all- maybe it could show up on a black tape? I’ll try it

[@aileenc8622]

I’m confused. I thought the small dial is tension as the thread goes through the tension disc there. The top dial is the presser foot.

[@SewHungryHippie]

I am talking about adjusting foot pressure tension- I don't adjust thread tension ever, like ever.....

[@Wisepati]

@@SewHungryHippie that wasn’t as clear thanks for explaining because most people when they say tension, think of the thread and I think of pressure with the pressure foot.

[@rowdyangel514]

My doggy Wally(10 lb ) is just a love, but when I get started on a sewing project, he sits and will stare at me to sit in big chair so he can be in my lap.

[@juliecangialosi7183]

Hi

[@Wisepati]

Is that your presser foot tension or your thread tension?

[@SewHungryHippie]

Presser foot tension

[@thepiececorps]

What does TPU stand for?

[@SewHungryHippie]

Hello! Great question! It is Thermoplastic polyurethane.

[@elizabethmcclain2248]

Hello, zipper tabs 😂❤

[@clovisperkins7138]

Bye.

[@SewHungryHippie]

Thank you for joining us Clovis!

[@elizabethmcclain2248]

What is TPU ? Duh!

[@SewHungryHippie]

Hi Elizabeth, it is Thermoplastic Polyurethane! I didn't even try to say it 3 times fast!
