    I would watch an entire series of y'all just stitching together worldly, interesting and otherwise obscure flags. I would watch the shit out of that

    I've wondered whether most flags are made from layered pieces or sewn bits... With the more complex ones, of course. Tri- and bicolors are dead simple.

    Hi, can you make a video about sewing the Icelandic flag? It would be very interesting to see.

    Are these flags G-Grade? I am assuming this is a 2:1.

    When you sew the hem it looks like it messes up the geometry of the lines? You can see what I mean if you pause at 4:17 before the flag is getting flipped over. Is this "fixed" later somehow or is that what it looks like in the end?

    • @chrisloach9658
      @chrisloach9658 4 роки тому

      Also because of the way the fabric overlaps at the seams you can see 1:22 the red segment that forms part of the saltire is noticeably thinner on one side of the flag. Do you do some sort of applique type thing to fix this or do you just live with it?

      I believe that it's just what it looks like in the end. The reverse side of a flag isn't as important as the front, and (at least with the hems) a visible half-inch difference isn't going to cause a problem at a flag's scale.

      American? There is 45 countries in America. Hundreds of cities and states with their own flag. Be more specific.
      American = Between the northernmost point in Canada, to the southernmost point in Chile.

      @@GhostGuy764 Hahaha. If it's freedom you seek, the USA is not the place. Also, if you say "American flag" in the USA, most people know what you mean. But the USA is only 4 percent of the world. "US flag" gets more traction elsewhere. ;-)

      Dylan Assael Traditionally made all the individual pieces cut and sewn so I’d say a heavyweight canvas type material something like Burlap/Hessian.
