Frequently Asked Questions What size is each piece?Each piece is 17.75" x 53.5", factory cut — enough for a medium-to-large bag or multiple accessories. Is this vinyl shiny?No — Moonglow has a distinctive matte, pebbled finish with no sheen or glare. It gives projects a premium, leather-like look without the shine of standard vinyl. Can I sew this on a home sewing machine?Yes! Use a size 80 chrome universal needle or Microtex needle. A Teflon foot can help but isn’t always necessary — this vinyl sews smoothly on domestic machines. Do I need interfacing?It depends on your project. For structured bags, interface with Sew Hippie foam, Sew Hippie fusible foam, SHH Fusible Woven, left over batting, or fusible fleece. For a slouchy style, you can skip it entirely. Is this vinyl sticky or adhesive-backed?No — this is a non-adhesive faux leather vinyl designed for sewing, not sticking. Can I iron this vinyl?Avoid direct heat on the matte surface. If pressing is needed, use a Teflon pressing sheet and heat on the reverse side. What patterns work well with Moonglow Black?Any SewHungryhippie vinyl-compatible pattern works great. The Santorini Tote is a fan favorite, and the Madison, Arlo, Andy, and Donovan bags are all excellent choices too.
