NO PINS WITH PLASTICS No pins or pressing are allowed when sewing with plastics. Miss I. Byrd Johnson, clothing specialist at VPT says to hold the pattern on fabric with weights or paper clips. Use paper clips to hold sec tions together when stitching. Mark construction lines with a pencil or crayon. Use a very shary fine sewing machine needle. No. II suggested. Set length of stitch to 7 per inch and use mercerized cotton thread. It should be less likely to shrink and pucker, it is softer and will not cut plastic. If basting becomes necessary in some areas, stay at least 1 8 inch within the seam allowance. You can hem and gather plastics with sewing machine attachments. If the plastic film becomes sticky, dust with talcum. Some plastics become brittle when cold. If this happens, warm them before sew ing Hang to remove wrinkles.
