Camper van curtains

[Annedonnelly]

Hi, I'm busy making curtains for my camper van.

One pair uses Swish VISA popper tape instead of normal curtain tape. It's a polythene tape. Does anyone have any tips about sewing this on please? Anything I should look out for.

Thanks!

Use a zipper foot and so a bit slower

Check the machine tension as it *might* need to be eased a little. Also use a slightly thicker needle (maybe a 90) and if the stitching seems 'punchy' as it goes through the tape a leather or microtex needle should help.

Thanks @Stitches and @Hummingbird I might be having a go at this tomorrow. Fingers crossed it'll be ok.
