 |
|
Firstly, sorry created this for me to ask lots of sewing related questions- but maybe others have questions too!
I want to make some more panty liners and thought I would try using velcro to fasten. I notice that nappy wraps have velcro sewn on with machine. Is this easy. Could it damage the machine- what foot would I use?
Thanks ladies. |

lol its not so bad, just be careful to not sew too close to the edge as it can break the edging and fray.. |
