Is it easy to sew &amp; cut? I read several comments that it sheds bad.

Fur isn't easy to sew by any stretch of the imagination (make sure you read plenty of tutorials!) but we didn't have any issues with it shedding. I used it for a coat that has had no shedding.

Thanks for your help. We already ordered it, so I will let you know how it goes...We hung one last weekend that we did not have to cut. It looked better than I thought it would. Fingers crossed. Thanks again

mine was not precut and I had a very hard time cutting it. Good luck(yes, you need to cut it)

I think cutting it is best! That's why I do. I then just wrap it back up in the Saran Wrap so it stays nice and soft :)

Not so much. The frame is a breeze. The fabric is a tangled mess. It won't unroll without snagging itself. The instructions recommend two people, I'd recommend at least two. I did it myself. I did not have a lot of yard because of having a very wooded yard. If you have a lot of room, roll the whole thing out so you can get it untangled. Then stretch it around the frame. Once I finally got it wrapped, I had to go around and twist many of the strands from top to bottom to line them all back up. I personally recommend a unit that is pre assembled panels. They will go together in under a half hour. But, you will get a sense of accomplishment when you do finish this one. One other thing. I had a pre built one years ago for a former dog. He was very strong and would grab the fabric at the bottom and rip it loose. Then he could crawl through. I screwed wood along the bottom and that stopped him. This time, with this unit, I used pipe clamps every 6" along the bottom instead of the included aluminum ties. It's much sturdier. The aluminum ties are too easily pulled loose because they are just too short to really tie.

yes, you can cut it, I had to as well. A good pair of scissors help it is a little thick and will pull a bit. I used a large size it worked great.

Personally, I regretted buying it. It is a cheaper type of synthetic weave. I would suggest spending a little more money to purchase a better grade of weave. I had this as a sew in and it was done by a professional. However, I only kept it in for about 5 weeks because of the quality.

I have no idea what the others were talking about with this shed issue. Maybe because I ordered the tan, I never noticed any sheding. I just took an unused group 9 hangers and placed a black top under them and rubbed the hangers and finally noticed teeny tiny hairs being released. But I really had to look. Hope this helps.

This is all straight and easy to work with. They make one that is textured and I bought that as well. I braid the straight one into my hair which is thin, so I like this. The one that is textured, I wear loose and it gets 'ratty' underneath the longer you wear it in a day as it rubs on my shoulders. I like it, but wear it only for special occasions and it takes a lot longer to comb out.

OK, I just sewed the edge of one of my towels and it works fine. I also just finished "making" actually simply hemming, a length of fleece for a new baby blanket. I rolled the edges and it worked quite well. When I got to the corners, I did try to do the whole 4 layers and it wouldn't, it was just too much. But the regular hem was fine. The machine only goes so fast, which is great for a beginner. For me, I probably could have sewn my baby blanket a lot faster, if the needle went faster. The control ON the machine, not the foot peddle, was a tad faster. But it was ok anyhow.

Happy to! Helps tremendously to sew a straight, even seam. Just set it on the needle plate to the right of the needle (the needle plate is the metal piece that the needle goes up and down through the hole and the feed dogs come up under it) place it as far from the needle as you want your line of stitching and it guides the fabric through perfectly as you sew. I absolutely love this thing!!

If you could re-sew the seem you created I'm sure you could but it's definitely not designed for that. The fabric is thick but it's a fairly large weave and would fray if cut (and not re-sewn).

This is super easy to use. Just be sure to thread your cording (or what ever you are stitching down with it) in to the foot before placing the foot on the machine. Leave a little bit sticking out behind so it doesn't slip out. You can just snip that off after you have sewn away from it. Then be sure to back tack to secure well and then have some fun. You can sew straight lines, curves or anything you can dream up. I love my cording foot!!

I would try sewing it. One of the shoulder straps broke and I sewed it. Now its good but when I can I avoid picking it up with the straps!

It does tangle some, but not nearly as bad as I expected. Of course I haven't really worn it for longer than an hour or so. With hair this long there really is no way to prevent tangles (at one point my real hair was nearly this long as tangled far worse). Just gentle brush through it from bottom to top and they come out without much shedding. :)

I would not recommend cutting it since it is stitched on the bottom.and side unless you have a sewing machine to stitch it up so it doesn't unravel
