[QUOTE=Brothel_Creeper]you cant, you do it by hand[/QUOTE]


No, If your sewing machine has an arm on it you can slip it in that and then sew. As I said it depends on the machine.

Brain Toad 01-16-2005 02:48 PM

You can if your machine is designed right, I know my mum's can do it, because she reattached some sleeve patches for me.

Johnny EPHC 01-16-2005 03:19 PM

My mom sewed some patches on the sleeves of my jacket, too.

I'm going to be having a basement show, soon and the flyers we did for the last show were kinds sucky. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to make good looking and easy to read flyers?

4skin 01-16-2005 04:31 PM

just say there is 1 free beer with every flyer

pikeled onion 01-16-2005 04:38 PM

ive noticed a trend. male punks generally get their mum to so their patches. its the only way i tell ya, the only way

IFlogMyMolly16 01-16-2005 04:42 PM

My mom can't sew.

Brain Toad 01-16-2005 04:45 PM

I hand sew mine usually. But I get my mom to sew them so they dont frey, and she helped reattach the ones that got f[u]u[/u]cked in the wash.

Anarcho Poser 01-16-2005 05:17 PM

I sew mine myself. I haven't washed the sweatshirt yet though, so I'm not sure how much they'll fray.

Brain Toad 01-16-2005 05:20 PM

Put the washer on the gentlest cycle as you can, and hang dry it. That way you reduce the chances of freying. Or take it to a dry cleaners.

Why didn't you just fold the sides down?



Lazy punks

That's what I do now. I give the patch to my mum, she sews the sides down on her machine, then I hand sew them on the jacket myself.

pikeled onion 01-16-2005 06:17 PM

i dont really have the freying edges problem, mainly because i never sow patches on things that get washed. my bag and my jackets are the only thing i really sow on

Can someone give me a FAQ of all the questins asked in this?[/QUOTE]

All you have to do is un-sew the seam of the sleeve, sew the patches on, then sew th sleeve backtogether. Un-sewing's the toughest part coz sewing it back together you can just turn it inside out and use your machine.

Sounds much easier just to do it by hand.

Duct tape a broom stick that something that stands alone, like a Christmas tree stand. Then duct tape the mic to the top of the broom stick.

OiItsFatmatt 01-17-2005 01:55 PM

no, if you have a sewing machine that has the appropiate stuff to sew a sleeve, you arnt going to ask on a forum how to do it.

unless you are really, really dumb

Tie them around the top of the boots.

newbie2607 01-17-2005 07:31 PM

newbie2607 01-17-2005 08:19 PM

[QUOTE=me likes punk]how do you tie the laces on your boots so they dont show?[/QUOTE]




tie the boots and stick the rest of the strings in your shoes.

I use a tripod for a camera. I'm sure if you want one no matter what it looks like, you can find several things around your house to use for one.

Platinum_twf 01-19-2005 04:16 PM

how do I sew cloth patches on so they stop fraying? I have to hand sew it, I don't have a sewing machine...

Brain Toad 01-19-2005 04:17 PM

[QUOTE=Platinum_twf]how do I sew cloth patches on so they stop fraying?[/QUOTE]

You can spray the edges with anti-fraying spray
You can fold the edges over to the back, and sew them on that way.
You can trim the edges (this only prevents it temporarily)

OiItsFatmatt 01-19-2005 04:17 PM

either glue them on, then sew them (the glue bonds the edges)

or turn the edges underneath before you sew them on
