Rip Stop Nylon



A couple of months ago I asked for tips on sewing rip stop nylon. I wanted to make some light panels for DS to use in his photography work. The project was put on hold along with every other project until my shoulder healed enough to allow me to sew. To make a long story short I started the panels over the weekend. After playing with tensions and stitch length I serged the cut edges, then I pressed in casing on the sides and held them in place with fabric glue. I then used a small zigzag stitch on the casings, increased the foot pressure to 4 and the tension to 4. I delivered the first panel on Saturday. DS is delighted with the results. I was delighted with the results and I made 2 more panels since then. One left to make.
This was my first try with something as slippery as rip stop. It was fun to do and much easier than I anticipated.
