hello there! very nice video--you make me want to go out an buy some waxed canvas to play with...but i have such a huge stash of all kinds of stuff right now that i just GOTTA use a few pieces before i go out and get more!!! love your channel...i have a couple of questions for you. i am REALLY interested in making structured handbags out of faux leather--what is best to use for stiffener for the sides/bottom of the bag? is Peltex a viable option? in several other videos i have watched, something referred to as 'chipboard' or 'purseboard' has been mentioned; do you know what that is and where i could source it? can it be sewn through? i have a juki tl2010q machine and of course even though i'm a newbie (to pursemaking not sewing) i want to jump in and start with the 'hard stuff'--it's just my nature! any recommendations would be appreciated. thank you!

Do you find the Fume Extractor works well? I've heard from other owners that it was a waste of money.

I just use my vacuum hose😊

I'm back, any advice for getting axis error repeatedly? needle is going off axis right in the seam....i've done every tip i've seen on yt and it's still an issue....so frustrating. everything should be good! It's not even flagging....so what could be causing this? please and thank you <3

So glad I found you, your tutorials are so easy to follow! Have a multi needle embroidery machine that is still waiting to land on its stand💪Doing research in the meantime to figure out what would be the best software to use. In your opinion and Ignoring pricing, what are the pros and cons between Embrilliance and Hatch. Your tutorials make Hatch seem “simple” to use in that one could learn to use the program fairly quickly. My future goal is to learn to digitize, mostly for our staff T’s and hats, but baby steps first. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!

I’ve been wondering how some of these Facebook groups can sell (make?] vinyl with well known logos and get away with it. I’ve joined a few of these groups, then saw what they were producing and promptly left. I just wanted cute vinyl. I didn’t want to get sued! Thanks for explaining. Turns out my intuition was correct.

I love my htvront heat press too!! Great video ❤️

Heyo! My husband is a computer engineer too! And that's the story of how I jailbroke my circuit.

I am just a sewing hobbyist but this video has inspired me to put "Hail Satan" tags on everything I make.

Silence of the Lambs reference was not something I expected on my bag sewing journey, but I fucking love it. <3

Love how you do videos and the amount of information was awesome! Great personality! <3

Thank you for this informative video! Do you happen to have wholesale supplier you use for your bagmaking supplies, most especially fabrics and vinyl?

Work smarter, not harder! :)

I....might need to do this!

Thanks a LOTTT!!! 🎉

Really helpfull

I didn’t think about the small tags and the anxiety! I bet that’s been my issue!

I appreciate you so much for the information on your CZcams bag making website

Not surprised to find out that my new favorite craft person is a software engineer. 🙃

I love your videos!! I love the way you teach and your sense of humor!!! You are amazing and talented!!

You’re a hoot. I’ve been binding bags tons but have never used FOE. I’m going to try it. Thanks for the laughs tonight.

I live in AZ and while I love the look I’ve been afraid to try using it. Crayons left in the car was a scary thought when my kids were little. I’m afraid if the bag got left in the car, I would never get the residue off of my upholstery anyone have experience with it in significant heat?

Thank you. Good information 😁💕

What made you do the Tumblr at 335° and then for a minute? I do my tumblers at 375 for 75 seconds and I don’t rotate it when I’m using a 20 ounce tumbler like you did in this video. I am new to this so I thought I would ask. I just use what the machine settings said to use. Thanks

The examples are so helpful!

I'm with you! Designing patterns for just my use is hard enough, plus going through the testing phase which take so much time and mental energy. I never really trust someone who doesn't design and create things themselves to appreciate the work that goes into it.

Great video!

I used an industrial machine for 13 years at Disney, and now with my domestic machine I feel like I'm watching paint peel, but If I buy another machine my kids will think I'm running a sweatshop!

I love your videos! They are so helpful and informative.

Hi I'm using the riser. Where do I attach the screen print adapter left or right?

I absolutely love your channel!! As a new bag maker your channel has been immensely helpful. You’re my kind of people.

I've been fortunate enough to find a niche, nobody is making what I make and all my patterns are made by me

You’re awesome! But then you knew that already.😉 Seriously, thank you for speaking your mind. I hesitated about sewing bags because cause of the market, but I’ve decided to make what I am wild about and sell them. There are at least 100 plus people (conservative) who would be interested.

Did she just say "teeth pulled at a Yani concert"?

Spot on!!!!!

Quality❤

Is this an ai voice

I’ve been seeing for awhile, but when I first started, the market was not saturated in my niche. Then it became saturated, so I leaned into Japanese fabrics and here I am still! (Though after one of my first events, TWO separate makers came out with a remarkably similar tote bag two weeks afterwards, and that has been stuck in my craw for awhile. I get there is only so many ways to fold fabric, but come on! 😹)

Great video on waxed canvas! I have been using waxed canvas for bag making for several years now and sew with industrial machines. The first waxed canvas that I had tried came from a local fabric store and it was a marginal quality product. I then purchased waxed canvas from Sailrite, and their product is wonderful. Sailrite offers two varieties: a Heavy Waxed Canvas and a Light Waxed Canvas. In both products the canvas is the same weight. However, what makes them different is the weight of wax applied to each square foot of material. So, a lighter weight and a heavier weight material. Also, contrary to what a person may think, Sailrite offers a canvas basting tape does actually work fairly well on waxed canvas to hold zippers in place during assembly. Anyway, that’s my 2 cents worth relative to waxed canvas. Keep on sewin’!

Best needle for working with it? Also have you embroidered on it?

Thanks for the tips! I have a piece of waxed canvas planned for a bag. Glad I saw this before ruining all my marking tools!

Thank you soooooo much for this I have struggled sewing vinyl for years

I love you ❤️💕😘 !! Such a gift

Thank you for the info.

On a similar pursuit, is it "legal" to purchase fabric that has copyrighted images/characters, and then make that fabric into various items to be sold? Presumably stores such as Walmart, Joanne, Hobby Lobby etc have already paid licensing to sell the fabric which they know people will make things with.

Thanks for sharing. How do you package your bags for delivery to customers?

Love it!!

OMG thank you so much! This is sooooo useful! I've been using my Cricut to cut applique shapes, which I LOVE but had no idea I could do something similar with PDF patterns. WOW!! So glad I found your channel!!

More material reviews, please. I love it.

I’m curious what it’s like to use waxed canvas if you live in a place that gets over 100 degrees F in the summer, meaning will anything happen to the texture of my bag if I carry it outdoors for a couple hours.
