Embroidery for a Bag (2)

The embroidery is finished.

I would like to attach it to the bag in such a way that one can easily remove it again at any time – to wash it or use it for another purpose.

The edges of the fabric are secured with zigzag stitches. The 1 cm seam allowance is folded to the back. The hem is sewn close to the edge of the fabric so that you can thread a safety pin through the tunnel.
Double rubber thread (length about twice all four sides) should hold the embroidery on the bag.

The corners of the hem remain open. This way you can use the safety pin to pull the rubber thread through the hems of all four sides and then distribute it evenly.

It is advisable to pull auxiliary ribbons through the loops of the rubber threads at the corners so that you can easily pull the rubber thread away from the fabric later.

The rubber thread ends are knotted together. The rubber is distributed evenly so that there are no too many wrinkles anywhere.

The embroidery should be fastened at the corners with buttons. I determine the position of the buttons and pull a thick thread through the back of a twine button.

One end of the thread is threaded through the felt at the specified position

and pulled to the inside.

The other end of the thread is threaded and pulled through the felt close to the first inserting point.

Both ends of the thread are pulled further into the inside of the bag,

until the button lies tightly on the felt.

Inside, the thread ends are knotted together well and then trimmed.

The embroidery is attached to the buttons as a test.
To do this, first pull on the auxiliary ribbon to pull the rubber thread out of the linen at the corners,

slip the loop over the button

and then remove the auxiliary ribbon.

If everything fits,

the embroidery is removed again – remember to pull the auxiliary ribbons back in – washed, starched and ironed.

It is then reattached to the bag’s buttons and is ready for use.
