JDpenelope said... Passion4Sewing -- Thanks for the ideas. Not sure if there's a teflon foot for my old (very old) Singer industrial, but it has a compound walking foot, which did overcome most problems when working with this vinyl. Patti Your reviews and the others were extremely helpful, even though I didn't understand your warning about the straps, until I had already sewn them incorrectly! Oops. The straps were long enough that I just cut them off above the O ring (not in the pattern, by the way) and re-sewed them correctly. 8/14/11 9:59 AM
Very pretty bag!
