OK – I confess. I have become obsessed with oil cloth. When I was in California this summer I bought 14 half yards of oil cloth. Have I used any? Of course not. However, when Fabric.com had a sale last week, I bought some more.
Since free shipping required a $35 purchase, I had to get enough to qualify. Not sure exactly how much is here but the largest piece is only one yard so it isn’t as much as it looks – at least I hope it isn’t.
I guess I better get going making something from oil cloth. I think I will stop by the sewing machine store today and pick up a teflon foot. It makes it much easier to sew on oil cloth and vinyl.

Beautiful fabrics. I can't wait to see and get inspired from what you make!
ReplyDeleteSo, what can you make with oilcloth? Curious minds want to know.
ReplyDeleteI found the built in walking foot on the Pfaff does a great job of handling the oil cloth. I bought a Teflon foot for my Bernina but the IDF on the Pfaff worked just as well. The only time I had a problem is when I tried to free motion quilt (adding grommets) but once I put a Teflon sheet on the bed of my machine it behaved.
