Anytime I cut out fabric that sheds, like minky or Sherpa I leave it on the table (don’t pick it up!) and use a hand vac along the cut edges. It dramatically reduces the fluff that goes everywhere.
I learned the hard way when sewing a Sherpa quilt for my daughter. There was a lot of stitch skipping, and your suggestion of the Jersey needle makes sense. I should have used the walking foot, but I “muddled through”, literally. Great tips . Thank you.
Thank you so much for these wonderful tips and reference sheet to download. I've wanted to try using this type off fabric but was clueless; now I'm fearless!🙂
I'm not sure! I wouldn't use a knit fabric for most bag making and if the sherpa is light in color, it'll probably attract dirt. But it does sound cute!

I always learn something watching your channel. Thank you!
Glad to hear it!
So helpful.thanks
You're welcome!
Thank you very much for your tips they are very helpful
I was kind of afraid to work with Sherpa.
God bless you.
You're welcome! I hope your next Sherpa project goes smoothly.
Great video! Quick question- do think Sherpa would withstand the wear on an exterior accent piece on a handbag? Wouldn’t that look the cutest!?
