Oilcloth Sewing Tips:
- Pin pattern on to oilcloth in seam allowances as the pin holes will stay in
the oilcloth.
- If the pattern has fold lines (example on the hems or on the wine cozy) fold
the oilcloth and pattern while the pattern is still pinned to the oilcloth.
- Don't serge, oilcloth doesn't ravel.
- Use a sharp needle, size 8 or 10 to make the seaming easier. Universal or
ballpoint needles won't go through the oilcloth as easily.
- Use a medium length stitch length.
- On handles, just fold over and topstitch along the edges. No need to hide
the seam inside the handles.
