can this fabric be sewn on a regular sewing machine to make bags the sizes I want?

Sure. Pacific silvercloth feels just like soft flannel and can be sewn into bags for storage of your silver items.

I don't see any reason why not. I don't sew, but I can tell that the fabric is not too heavy for a sewing machine. It looks like a winning solution to me.
854374
Yes. It's like sewing on cotton flannel. The particles of silver in it are like dust -- you won't even know they are there when you are sewing.

I haven't done this myself, and I certainly can't guarantee the outcome, but I am a sewer, and the fabric appears perfectly appropriate for this.

Hi, I bought this type of converter for my family oversea. I didn't use it, myself, and I don't know if it will work on sewing machine. Thank you

I don't think so. I have sewn a few layers of jean, but I think that is far as it will go. If you are going to be doing a lot of leather sewing, I would suggest finding an old vintage machine. Or if you can afford it, an industrial sewing machine.

No, cause it is made for the cover it would be to hard on a non- commercial sewing machine to alter the tarp cover

I wouldn't. You could perhaps cut an inch or 2 off each side and refinish the edges on a sewing machine, if you know what you're doing. The magnets on sewn in between the fabric like a pocket as you can see in the photo. The problem is that there are 3 magnets across the top and 3 cross the bottom and the are not all the same distance from the edge. one magnet is 3 inches from the edge, one is 2.5, and one is as close an inch from the edge. We are very happy with the blanket although we bought 2 more magnets from the hardware store to put on each side . I hope that I've answered your question.

I have not had a problem using my machine for that type of fabric. I did small projects though. I would say so long as you are using the right thread, needle and tension you should be ok.

Sewing machine needles are pretty much universal. This one is good for heavier fabrics - not just denim.

Inches?!? It wouldn't sew through a single inch of fabric & I'm not of a machine that will... That said it'll sew through 4 layers of toughtek, microfiber suede, nylon webbing (gotta be careful with the straps, it'll snap the needle & send it right at you, where glasses!). This, of course, is for the home hobby project, it couldn't do this in production. You will have to get to know the machine but after you do it runs strong, just not as fast as an industry machine.

I got it for my daughter and it's quite large but I used a huge safety pin and pinned it to the smallest size I could.The width really helps get more control for transfers and such. It could probably be stitched smaller too. I justdon't have a working sewing machine at the moment.

I'm so sorry I can't help with this question. I bought this machine to try and teach myself how to sew. so I really don't know anything about sewing or different machines at all. I know I'm in the minority so you should get some answers from qualified people. Good luck.

Yes you can use regular thread. And you can bring this machine to any sewing store which service sewing machine.

Yes, the sewing machine can sew with a variety of needle sizes and thread thicknesses including standard thread found at fabric stores. Thread tension will have to be adjusted to appropriately handle the lighter threads. Also, recognize that this machine will have a much heavier "industrial" feel to it than the standard household sewing machine and it offers only straight and zig-zag stitches. Although the needles can easily be found online, your daughter may not be able to find the appropriate needles at her local fabric store. A more refined and customized version of this machine is sold by Sail Rite and is called the LSZ1. The Sail Rite website will include numerous videos which will fully detail the capabilities of this machine.

I suppose you could, but the fabric for these bags is softer and breaths more than the fabric for sheer curtains and there is a drawstring. Since I don't own an iron or a sewing machine that would be a very expensive option for me.

I would not make socks with this, but I'm sure you could. I've seen many reviews from people that were not able to use the machine but it takes patience to learn and a lot of practice. I wouldn't really call this a machine, it's more like a loom, you are still doing all the work. I've made blankets, bags, sweaters and cowl/scarfs.

I haven't tried yet, since I just got my machine. While I was researching machines I found a you tube video demonstrating sewing a seam like jeans have on denim and then he folded it up twice like a hem and it sewed great.

It folds in quarters = approximately 14 x 10-1/2 x 1" thick when compressed. I don't sew, but the sides like seam binding so I think it could be done.When using a steam iron, I have found that the steam soaks thru the cloth.

Trisha, Buttonholes can not be done on this machine. This is an Embroidery Only machine. Thank you,
