7 Tips to sew long-pile faux-fur fabric<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With these tips, sewing your own DIY shopper bag will be a piece of cake, even if this is your first beginner sewing project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Use scissors instead of a cutter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Always use sharp scissors, making sure not to cut too much fur. This way you can maintain its natural texture without losing too much of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Brush the edges after cutting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use a thin-toothed comb or brush to brush the fur away from the seams before sewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Use clips instead of pins<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The thickness of the fabric means that pins can be easily lost. Sewing clips are much more practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Use the right needle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use a universal needle or a special needle for thick fabrics (90\/14). This way you\u2019ll avoid skipping stitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Use a long stitch length and a walking foot<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Adjust your machine with a longer stitch length (3-4 mm). If you have a walking foot, use it so that the fabric doesn\u2019t slip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Sew in the direction of the fur<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Alinea siempre las piezas siguiendo la ca\u00edda natural del pelo. Esto mejora el acabado y evita que se vea desigual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Remove the leftover fur<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Keep a Hoover or lint roller nearby: when cutting this fabric, some fibers come loose and this helps keep your workspace clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
