Beautiful but horrible to sew
Ok. I'll give credit where it's due. This stuff is super pretty. HOWEVER. It is the worst to try to sew. It doesn't pin well, at all, leaving fairly obvious holes in the vinyl squares. It slips worse than silk. I had to constantly clean my needle with rubbing alcohol to remove the sticky buildup from it and keep the needle oiled with sewing machine oil to keep from having to clean the needle literally every 30 seconds. Mess up a seam? Too bad. Any attempts to remove said seam result in the mesh ripping.If you're going to do this and sew it, remove the little gripping treads from your machine, set the tension on the bobbin a little higher than normal(I matched mine to tension setting 4 on my singer), moisten the needle with machine oil(I used a q tip to do this and just held the clean end in my teeth since this needs consistent repeating every few seconds), and make sure to do tiny sections at a time rather than just getting the seam done. Pull it through slowly, run the machine slowly, repeat til you're dead inside.
