Sewing a Feather Flag - Standard finish
Our standard finish is unhemmed leaving just the raw edges - Intended for short use only
When the flag pole is inserted and fitted to the base... it should look like the image below.
You will require
Black 60s thread for the machine head
Monofilament thread for the bobbin
The printed flag
Elastic flag belt
Elastic bungee cord
Fold 130mm elastic banding in half lengthways Stitch across the top to secure, then turn inside out.
Lay the flag flat out - wrong side facing up. Flag and banding can now be put together.
Place flag material inside the banding and stitch from top to bottom following the curve of the flag.
Keep the edge of the banding in the middle of the foot and sew down to the bottom of the flag.
Stitch a loop of elastic bungee cord to the bottom of the flag. This will help secure the flag to the pole.
