"Hi, I am Candi Cane-Canncel of Expert Village. In this clip, we are going to start to assemble our luggage tag. The first thing you want to do is take your little piece of clear plastic and you are going to attach it to your fabric. With clear plastic, you do not want to put too many pins in it because the holes don't go away. I like to just put a pin all along the edge on the corner. What we are going to be doing is stitching along three sides, leaving this side open so you can slide your business card in. Just taking it to the machine. Clear vinyl can be a little bit tricky to sew. So if it is tricky if you want to put a little bit of hand cream or some sewing oil under your pressure foot, it will glide a little bit easier. This will just keep the pressure foot from sticking. You can also use sewers aid which works really well too. I also like to put just a little bit on the needle. If you don't have sewers aid, hand cream or oil will work just as well. Just want to go ahead and put it up to your sewing machine, and you are just going to stitch around three edges. Once you have sewn it, you want to take your business card and make sure that it works. Perfect."
