Ah thank you SO MUCH for this! Do you put the paper on the top and bottom of the fabric, or just on the top? : o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, in this case the back of the fabric was just... cloth... so I put on top only. But if the vinyl is on the back, too, then I put on the back, too. It gets slightly annoying when sewing, but it's really worth it.

Thanks for this! Can I suggest something? Put painter's tape on the bottom of your presser foot (and poke the needle through), and also cover the top of your sewing machine in the same tape

Oh, that's a really good idea! By painter's tape you mean masking tape? Like duct tape but made of paper? I'll definitely try it out!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Kinda; painter's tape is the stuff that's not too sticky so that you can use it to paint straight line and stuff without ruining the paint or material underneath ^^

Yeah, that's the one! Thanks!

I do use this on occasion, but usually I'm not fond of it because the thread comes out looser. I suggest a plastic foot. They have less friction. I've hear some people use some kind of lubricant. That it help the foot move along smoothly.

I also thought the thread would come looser, but... surprisingly... I didn't!I think it's a lot about calibrating the sewing machine and ripping the paper in certain directions. And the chances of finding a plastic foot for my sewing machine are very slim... that's why I tried this version. But thanks for the tip

Ahahahah, me and my friend ruined a whole bunch of boot covers before and thought we probably shouldn't try to work with (vinyl) leather again.
Well, now we have a solution, so thanks a whole bunch!! :33

you're welcome! I was always afraid to work with vinyl, because I knew this will happen. But then I got this commission and I had no choice, haha!

Awesome tutorial! X3 do you this could work with leather too? My boyfriend said a trick w/ leather can be done with baby oil
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'v never worked with leather before, so I don't really know. But I can imagine why baby oil might work on leather. In the end the leather absorbs the oil. I have a leather couch and I "treat" it with hand cream from time to time. It gets softer and the leather feels so much better!
