I ❤️ my Fabric Tail so much but I have a couple questions.

What kind of thread do u use to make the drainage holes because my tail all filled with air?

“Also note this my very first tail and it was gifted to me and I wouldn’t have gotten a tail if it wasn’t for Mermaid Kita my best friend who I can say is truly my Mer Sister.” 4339143392433934339443395

That depends on whether you're hand sewing the stitches or using a sewing machine. You can use a 2lb braid fishing line if hand sewing, and for sewing machine, use 100% polyester thread. Don't use cotton thread as it absorbs water and stretches out of shape.

If you've never sewed before I suggest turning the tail inside out, marking with washable marker where you want the drainage holes, then ripping out the stitches with a seam ripper or embroidery scissors. Make sure to go over the existing stitches with sewing, otherwise they start to undo themselves and you'd have to start over.

Update I have been practicing with my Mono Fin I can go really fast! I love the feel of it. Swimming just like a fish.
