on with a decorative back stitch. It turned out great and she is trilled with it but, my fingers are so sore today from pushing and pulling the needle through the thick plastic coated fabric. I was trying to come up with a better way to attach the patchs, since I have 5 more orders. I need to save my fingers for typing on CUTE.lol Would love suggestions!

34304There is a product called Patch Attach. It is in a little bottle attached to a card. It says that it is 'Permanent; Washable; Dry Cleanable; No Sewing; Fast & Easy; and Non-Toxic. You apply it on the back of the patch, let it dry, then cover with press cloth and iron it on the item. *4U & all

This is the problem. There was noway to get the surbace on this backpack smooth enough to iron. And I wasn't sure about ironing that plastic covered fabric? Ideas

I would try ironing with the tip of my iron. The instructions say that you score the plastic being careful not to cut through to expose the fabric. This is a really tough question.

27608I just finished some totes for some of my friends, I used the fusible heat activated webbing to adhere the embroidery to the tote, and I used some Tulip paintstitch, or some 3D paint to hide the border of the fabric and add some little dots, curlies,etc., and they look real pretty.I wish I could send you some pictures, but I'm to dumb to upload the projects.If you send me your email y could send you a picture.

60484Since it is a backpack and they don't get laundered as often as clothing how about that heat activated fabric fusion? I saw it at the fabric store today, it was like $2.50 a yd. You just make a outline of the patch on the fusion, cut it out and iron it on. I did a search at JoAnn's they have a velcro brand also, the one I saw was by the yd. can't recall the manufacturer maybe Pellen called Heat and Bond. Hope this helps * xoxox
