This is so timely for me. I just started sewing bags. While I have an older Pfaff sewing machine that should be able to handle this task, my #69 nylon thread keeps breaking and I don’t think the bottom tension is correct. I’ve been looking at needle types and decided to see if I have a leather needle. One problem at a time. Thanks for the helping hand.

Place a thin layer of Tissue Paper over or under vinyl, where it touches your presser foot or sewing machine. Sew seams and then gently tear away the tissue paper. I use 3mm or longer length stitches, to avoid tearing the vinyl.

On your video about ironing vinyl, why not use a hair dryer?

Also lengthen your stitch length so your seam doesn’t “perforate” a line to rip off. Additionally, if you choose to use tape on the bottom of the presser foot, use the frosted magic kind, and a roller foot can sometimes work. I loved putting a clear window or a clear patch pocket in several items I made. Don’t be afraid to try vinyl, it is great!

You could also by a roller foot for this.
