what do you think about Modal fabric?

@pwakamole Modal is just a synonym for rayon.

Hi... I have been wanting to do a clear plastic bag but i'm scared of when Sewing the plastic together it would rip or tear ...do you have any Ideas on how to sew plastic together? anything you can think of will help thanks =D

[Evange]

@mylove4crafts Probably using a zig-zag stitch is your best bet, as a straight stitch would crate a fault of it to rip along.

With regard to the double needle technique, are both of the bobbins on the same holder? Also, will this technique work with any sewing machine? i'm using an older Singer, and i don't know whether I can use a double needle with it or not.

@sj1605

you need to have 2 bobbins, one for the bottom (the bottom thread) and the other for the top along with the spool.

This double needle thing confuses me, what exactly do you mean besides double thread besides, thread through twice? I'm really sorry, i'm sure i'm making this sound more complicated than it is.
