Have you tried pressing the grosgrain along the fold? gives a nice sharp edge. I find a light stretch and clipping it from the middle helps reduce puckers significantly, as does basting it down on one side.
I have Outdoor Research Goretex & Cordura overmitt shells that have had the Cordura unravel and shred where it has seams with the Goretex. Beside taking a lighter to the edge to melt it, is there anything else I need to do to avoid having the Cordura unravel & shred? Do I use a grosgrain when i have the edges of 2 fabrics meet when I am sewing them together? It seems that would make the seams far too thick. Thank you, Norm
Chris, how do you do 90 degree turns with your binding? I have the sailrite binder attachment on my consew which works awesome but cant really make a turn with it.

Have you ever tried this with a swing-away binder foot attachment? Great video.
*Great video*
Thank you for sharing this with us.
These are actually so great
The "S" is silent in Grosgrain, like GROW - grain - thought you would want to know. I want to start using cordura and your vids are helpful. Thanks
Not in the uk

Hello chris.
Greeting from Equator.
Do you need a "heavy duty" or special sewing machine to sow courdura?
What's the difference between grosgrain ribbon and Chevron ribbon? Other than 10 cent a yard?
I edge with a 1 inch too

How do you like that Sailrite binder? I'm thinking about getting one.
Hi, I am trying to get Cordura fabric to import, does anybody know a website or some supplier where I can buy it at a reasonable price ?
Where are you located?
What machine do you used to sew layers of cordura?
How to do that around curves without bunging up the ribbon?
Hi! I really need help! I hope you can help me. I need to laminate my cordura, I wanted to do it my self. Do you have any idea how can I do it?
Hey Aida, I don't think I have ever seen laminated cordura. Are you trying to give it a hard coating?
Where do you source your bonded nylon thread? Brand and color, please!
Sailrite has great thread.
So is this an alternative to doing a folded hem or do you do normally do this in addition to a folded hem?
Wondering the same thing
Hey Chris, I wanted to reach out to you via email but the channel email doesnt seem to work. Is there a way to contact you for some custom work??
Is it safe to put grommets on cordura?
Renee` Hill
Yup. I make my own tactical gear and use a lot of grommets in the cordura. Holds very good.
@@midnight_prepper thank you
Got a link for that mat?
Did you find one? I want one too.
What machine do you have?
Hey Magdiel, I have a Consew 206RB
hi, what kind of needle do you use?
Hi Maciej! Apologies for responding so slowly. I have been using Groz-Beckert 140/22 needles.
@@DarkMetalFabrication What needle would you use for impregnated scuba webbing ?

Hate the music. Stop using it, you want to do a music video, do one.
