“Braided” Iridescent Rainbow Faux Leather/Vinyl - sold by half yard 18”x58”

Approx 1 mm  thickness - vinyl is an excellent choice for bag making, often referred to as a "medium-weight" or "bag-weight" vinyl And offers good structure for purses, totes, and pouches. It is generally suitable for domestic  machines when using the correct needle and foot.   

• Sewing Machine Needles: Use a Microtex needle (size 80/12 or 90/14) or a specialized leather/vinyl needle.
• Presser Foot: A Teflon foot or roller foot is helps prevent the vinyl from sticking to the machine. If you don't have one, placing Scotch tape or tissue paper on the bottom of a regular foot can work.
• Stitch Length: Use a longer stitch length, around 2.5mm to 3mm.
• Securing: Use sewing clips instead of pins to avoid leaving permanent holes in the material.

Heat sensitive - do NOT touch with IRON.

***When making a retreat bag I did not use interfacing on the vinyl : I put EBFuse light and Thermolam on the lining piece.
