Featherweight Case Restore Along Part 8: Covering the Exterior of the Case

Welcome back to the Singer Featherweight Case Restore Along! Earlier this year, we crossed paths with Annette on our Singer Featherweight 221 & 222 Facebook Group, showcasing one of her beautiful Featherweight Case Restorations. She was kind enough to create a very informative journey of her restorative process and we hope you enjoy following along!
Today, we learn how to cover the exterior of the case, with the prepared fabric!

Sticking the point of a needle or straight pin in the bubble makes smoothing the bubbles much easier.

It seems to me that if you put your fabric seam on the corner it is going to be easier to catch and pull on something because it sticks out. Whereas if the seam is in the middle of the back it does not really stick out so your fabric would be more protected

Nice video . Can you use vinyl for this also?

This is a good demo. I think I would use a small art brayer and lay the fabric down in shorter sections so I wouldn't have to keep lifting it.

Couldn't you skip a step and use real oilcloth?
