Hey what texture is recommended for sewing faux leather?

[@PhienixxStJames]

What size needle? What about the tension for top and bottom?

[@sewway]

Standard needle, the thread tension must be adjusted on test pieces

@@sewway I am taking in a vinyl corset, so I have no extra pieces. I don’t think my vintage sewing machine is equipped so I just did it by hand.

[@sewway]

I smeared it with soapy water to make the material slide better

I just reduce pressure on the foot.
