HELP! Thread for sewing question?
I'm going to be sewing a plastic bag (like shopping bag -->> a.k.a. a bag you get your clothes handed to you in after making a purchase at Aeropostale, Vanity, or Wet Seal) to cotton cloth. Can I use regular thread for this? or do I have to use special thread for the plastic. I will most likely be hand sewing this. If I need special thread, please tell me the store in which to get it and what specifically to ask for :) and if I do happen to be using a sewing machine for this, would I need a different type of thread?? PLEASE HELP!!! asap!
Use regular sewing thread, whether you're sewing the thread by hand or in your machine.
When sewing plastic on your sewing machine, place a piece of paper under the plastic material. It will help the plastic move more smoothly under the pressure foot without sticking. When you're done sewing, remove the paper.
