is this fabric thick enough to sew sections together for a hoop house?

I believe it is this enough-however, it lets rain through so it won't be waterproof.

It is not flimsy although you could try to rip it between your hands. I have used it on hoops and it was OK. The hoops were within 24" of the ground.

I think so. It may be hard to sew since it is so fragile - but if you are just wrapping yourself up should be good. Great Idea!

I would say so... We did not sew an edge. Don't place the grommets TOO CLOSE to the edge, though. Maybe an inch from the edge ought to be good.

Don't think so. Lots of falling, etc makes it a bit dangerous. Btw, mine got a massive rip along the seam. While I like to sew, I'm a bit annoyed as it was pretty expensive. Good luck

Hi Girard, That is hard to say because the thickness would not register on any ruler or measuring tape. But this is one of the thickest vinyl sheets/fabrics available. It can been sewn with a very heavy gauge needle or there are special adhesives which can joins seams. I used it to make an activity pad for my grand-nephew.

I also sew - the board bends a bit. I'd be reluctant to apply too much pressure. I use my regular board that is set up in my sewing room.

On the felt that I used yes! I tried it on some netting and it does well. To cut fabric, the only thing I can see that would hinder it is if you do not have the fabric down in a manner not to allow the blade to move well. I have made a quilt using the Disappearing Nine Patch. I know after I sew the nine patch back together for second or third or fourth cuts, The problem is the build up the layers of fabric and thread at the seams. That is why, I say with confidence, as long as you have your fabric down correctly on a good cutting board there should be no problem. I have had no problems.

Sorry, I am using my corners on decorative paper. Do not know about fabric.

with the covering on both sides,plus the fiber material inside,its about 3/4 thick. You could cut it with something,but the real issue would be in hemming the cut end.

I use Sew What Pro computer software along with the large hoop (they have a free 30 day trial, but I purchased it for $65 and it's SO WORTH IT). This allows you to edit the embroidery/appliqu to where it doesn't/does overlap how you want it to. You can do an appliqu in position 1 on the hoop and then move it to position 2 or 3 and put a name under the appliqu, etc. without re-hooping the fabric. It's amazing!

Definitely. We did a project with making clothes for a Flat Stanley out of various materials. Some thicker than fleece, and the scissors worked like a charm.

Thickness is, yes. But the fabric is like a waffle weave texture and very sturdy. Just went outside and checked mine to make sure. After a very hard winter and very hard freezes, the dirt is just where it should be and the fabric is intact. It doesn't look porous, but must be because water does not pool up in it. This is truly one of the best things I've ever tried for gardening in contained spaces. Don't know how many years it will last, but at this price, even one year is a bargain.

Yes you can. I made a slipcover for my sofa & used a regular sewing machine for the whole thing. Hope this helps ... good luck!!

I bought this to make a lean-to for a Renaissance Fair. I reinforced the corners and added grommets. Personally I prefer the ones I can get at Home Depot. They don't shrink as much and the fabric seems stronger.

No too thick. Just 2 maybe 4 depending on fabric weight. But no batting. Hope that helps

I wouldn't try to sew it. The stitches would likely tear through. It is just thin vinyl.

Yes! I used it to make no sew curtains and it bonded great. Just make sure to use wet towel and hold it for 10 secs. I used on cotton too..very pleased
