Need help with Bow Tuck Handles
#1
I know there are so many threads on the bow tuck and I just don't have time to read all of them, so forgive me if this has been covered before. I tried to make the handles as they describe, but they are just too thick to sew through four layers. If I redo them using only two layers of fleece (1/2 the width of fleece, but the same width of fabric), will it be strong enough or will it stretch? How did you all deal with this? I was also thinking of covering a piece of cotton handle tape that you buy by the yard, but don't know if that will be strong enough either. Any suggestions will be appreciated! I want to finish this thing without alot of stress dealing with the handles. It's looking pretty good so far. And I had no trouble getting the fleece to adhere.
