So adorable!! Good luck with your raincoat. If you find the clips are too fiddly or getting in the way, you can pin vertically through the fabric within the seam allowance and pull the pins out as you approach them. The teflon foot will help a LOT!Poppyprinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08251892807966340175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552748389359816147.post-32369438034772580692012-09-28T17:08:57.653-05:002012-09-28T17:08:57.653-05:00Congrats winners, and WOW - caravans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Congrats winners, and WOW - caravans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Mrs Flying Blind...https://www.blogger.com/profile/15064004823351464643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552748389359816147.post-80917944037196429732012-09-28T16:50:15.253-05:002012-09-28T16:50:15.253-05:00Your crabby pants are adorable!

Just gently pull the paper out of the stitches when done (less hassle to use the walking foot, though). :)giddy99https://www.blogger.com/profile/09608060511419621133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552748389359816147.post-60794542985273866762012-09-28T12:13:55.733-05:002012-09-28T12:13:55.733-05:00I'm super excited to see that email I received...I'm super excited to see that email I received from you this morning. Thank you. <br /><br />I don't have much experience in that type fabric but have read a little about sewing on it. The one thing I do recall is that you can use pins but if you do, be sure they are only used within the seam allowance. The other was to use those Clover clips you mentioned (they are awesome too btw/buy the larger pack of them because I bought the 10 pack and regret not buying the 50 pack), and the last way to hold the fabrics together while sewing was to use blue painters tape because it leaves no residue and once you stitch through that it easily pulls away. I use that all the time on my machine embroidery work.<br /><br />Some tips I have bookmarked that might help with more ideas:<br />Kathy did a great post on using these types of fabrics<br />http://www.pinkchalkstudio.com/blog/2009/11/18/laminated-cotton-sewing-tips/<br /><br />Fabric.com also has a good post about laminate<br />http://blog.fabric.com/2008/06/the_fabric_maverick_says_let_m.html<br /><br />Amy Butler has a pdf on her Fabric and Sewing Tips page (it's about the 6th one down on the page)<br />http://www.amybutlerdesign.com/products/tips.php<br /><br />Hope those give you some extra ideas/help. Good luck. Your new fabric is adorable. I love the campers.
