How to sew Oilcloth / vinyl fabric tutorial

You want to sew oilcloth / vinyl fabric?
You don't know how…

We found a few solutions over the course of our work which we would love to share with you.

* Do not sew and unstitch it will leave marks that you will not be able to repair

* You must have a good design, try out first on paper or old linen fabric.

* Do not use pins – they will make holes.



* Make all your signs / marks with sewing chalk



* Use masking tape to connect webbing



* Use paper clips or cloth peg to hold together the different parts




























*** Most important use a special Teflon leg for the sewing machine so that the oil cloth will not get stuck.
