Beau drapeau j'aime beaucoup comment elle le fait

I HAVE THIS ONE

[@werterbot]

So you cut the red cloth on the outside of the applique stitch line to show the maple leaf, but can you cut the white cloth (on the other side) on the inside of the applique stich line to show the maple leaf on the other side, or would that make the join between the two fabrics too weak?

thanks for sharing this excellent video - glad to see that some flags are still quality, unlike the cheap chinese flags out there. What fabric does Flagmakers use to make there?

[@siwaj_brhmraj1]

Mod grade fabric one of the strongest fabric

[@jacobv_]

what about the back side? wouldn't the maple leaf only show up on one side?

[@eightbighillman]

The red-white-red clothe were sandwiched sewn together, then trim both side of red to the maple shape.

good job it was awesome I need a high school football team flag made

[@milk_chemistry]

if you think about it it's actually pretty easy to do
this lady is just dangerous with the sewing machine tho

[@adrycough]

it looks like it would be pretty hard to injure yourself tbh, and worst case scenario is a lot of pain, blood, and a small scar as a reminder
not like other trades where you can lose entire fingers, limbs, and eyesight

What fabric material is used?

[@thnuwit7930]

WMBisme looks like woven polyester

[@thnuwit7930]

@Roald Christopher Hernandez According to their website polyester is more commonly used in UK. nylon is popular in US.

[@seppukun208]

Wait so it’s only one sided?

[@siwaj_brhmraj1]

ใจเนี่ย

[@rickdrysdale892]

But the maple leaf is only on one side

[@khatsladedemand211]

thats what im thinking too

[@derekjerman1912]

@@khatsladedemand211 I assume the white is trimmed in the same way as the red on the reverse. They just don't show that part on the video.
