Once the quilt is sewn up and you flip right side out, what’s the cleanest way to close it up? (vado_ul)
My X-Pac fabric tends to roll on itself and it can become difficult to sew it. Is there anything I can do to prevent that? (jbrans)
I’m working on a project which I have to cut a big piece (50”x40”) and the biggest ruler I have is 6”x24” and I have to do it on the floor. Any tips for cutting huge pieces of fabric? (timothy_lkh)
Any tips for working with really thin, slippery material? (ex. 0.66 MEMBRANE 10) (thegirlwithatablet)
Tips and tricks for sewing DCF for backpack. Especially when stitches go wrong and leave marks (subakigear_id)
I am looking for fabric that is tough but washable to make some big tote bags to haul heavy loads of plants. (lazysummerdaisy)
What fabric would not be crinkly in real cold weather? (colder than 0 degrees F)? Would be used for a dog coat so durability and some level of waterproofness would be great so the coat doesn’t soak through if they lay on snow. (fbxlg)
Looking for a material with the abrasion resistance of 500D nylon but much lighter. Any ideas? Thanks. (lexingtonsupplycompany)
