I used Schmetz Microtex machine needle 70/10 it worked a lot better then the leather needle I had tried. I was able to sew 4 thicknesses with the Microtex needle. I also tried a 75/11 stretch needle I had and that worked just as well through all 4 thicknesses. In the end I decide to sew with the Microtex needle. The leather needle shank was to thick for piercing through the tight woven fiber of the faux leather and this made my machine sound loud like it was having a hard time sewing through the layers. I sewed this using my Brother CS6000i sewing machine. I made a different wallet then this one.
@@sarahquiroz9004 in a regular home machine I tend to do number 5 on tension for top and the bottom has to be loose but I have a hand crank leather machine and thats different
Faux leather has a tendency to stick in a sewing machine while being sewn. The tissue paper helps to feed the faux leather through the machine without sticking nearly as much. Basically, it makes it a lot easier to sew and makes your seams look more professional.
Thank you for sharing. 😇

Love this! Thank you ❤
So cute, thanks for the instructions on how to effectively sew faux leather..
So cute...glad I found your channel!
That's so kind! Thanks for watching!
Thank you! Good tutorial
I'm happy it was useful to you!
Would adding a little tag on the side for a keyring add to much bulk when sewing?
Thank you!
Use double sided tape to hold everything together , also tissue paper should go in the bottom helps more .!
Also make sure you use the longest stitch that you can , and fix your thread tension which is a major role
@@LaPatronaVlogs what tension did you have it on? :)

I was wondering what needle you used for this? Thanks so much for the awesome tutorial!!
I used a denim needle, you could also just use one labeled for heavy materials 🙂
What is the point of the tissue paper?🤔

I was unable to download the pdf. I entered email and name. Can you email it to me?
You could also use a sewing foot designed for leather/faux leather and you won’t have to use the tissue paper
What is everyone using for Tension? :)
Does this size only fit one card?
Good question! I was able to fit at least 5 cards in my wallet and a couple of cash bills. it was pretty full at that point.
@@JennieMasterson Thanks for the reply. 🙏🏼
