My daughter wanted one of the baseball caps with the chevron patch. I don't have a cap hoop nor a commerical machine. So made the patch & sewed it on the hat. Looks pretty good, but not as good as if it were actually done on the hat.

I did the monogram, then used one of Britt Designs blank coasters (the smallest) & kept making it smaller until it looked ok. Stitched it out & then cut it out about 1/2 to 1/4 inch outside the satin stitch border. Then pulled threads to make it raggy looking. THEN I used a glue stitck to help hold it to the cap, & some pins, used the same yellow thread to stitch it on inside the border. if you look closely you will see where I didn't exactly get too close to the border! Just don't rush & stitch slowly. Hope this is clear!

Thanks ! This is a good idea. To leave some fabric around the borders and then pull the thread...gone try is too. Thanks for the tip

I think you are leaving a message for the other Gerry. She speaks Dutch, I'm sorry, I live in the US & can't speak another language, sadly.

yep you are right; I meant : very nice; how did you fix the special border ?

Haha. it was not me....

I did figure out the question was about the border! What does "frissel randje" mean. I know I look all ragged when I'm "frazzled!"

Hm that's a difficult question, have no idea how I could translante the "frissel" word. Randje = border, but the other word is more of a dialect I guess.
