This is a timely tutorial - always appreciate the detail you give in all your videos. I have to tell you, the best part about this whole video was the number of times Eric said it's okay if it isn't perfect, it's just a flag. Thanks for keeping it real Eric!

Great tutorial! - many of these techniques are what I use for making sailboat "battle flags" as well as class flags for regattas (e.g. Sunfish, etc.) One thing I do differently that worthy of consideration is in lieu of pins, I use a temporary spray fabric contact adhesive. It's a lot faster, and allows repositioning the graphics if need be (for a few minutes anyway).

Thank you for the wonderfully informative video tutorial!!! ... I'm actually sewing a few Garden Flags this afternoon and watched your video before beginning, and am so glad I did, as I will be using your flag tape idea on my flags also, with the exception of sewing the tape on the "top" of my Garden Flags, and leaving the ends unsewn & open to create a channel to run the metal rod through to hang my Garden Flags on the metal flag stand which will be inserted into a flower pot filled with soil & covered with faux moss, to situate it near my garden ... Thank you Sailrite, and may you all have a wonderful day!

I've made several flags and have found that the regular 200d that Sailrite sells is perfect for the main panels, it suffers as an applied fabric. It tends to shred along the cut and look fuzzy after a short time. I've been buying a 200d with a coated back that holds up very well. I wish Sailrite would include these fabrics in their offerings. Also for tracing, I use an old sheet of plexyglass with a spot light under it for a table. Then I get my graphic from a copy shop and trace directly from it to the fabric. Then I pin and sew.

Great suggestions. Yes, a 200D with a coated backside would be an excellent product to add someday. I will ask about it and see if we can stock it soon. However, since we used a very small zigzag stitch with a very short stitch length that stitch should help keep the fuzzy fraying of the fabric from going too deep into your applied logo. In essence it will fray, but will not be able to go past the very tight stitches of the zigzag.

Great video I really appreciated attention to detail But I was wondering, eventually could I paint on the Nailon instead of sewing?

Acrylic paint is the best option when it comes to painting fabrics. Mixing the medium with acrylic paint beforehand ensures a smooth application, and adding fabric medium or a ready-to-use fabric paint will help you achieve the desired color intensity.

Thanks for the excellent tutorial! Can you give me your thoughts on using waterproof taffeta fabric for the base material of a flag please? I am wanting something that will withstand the elements, flutter in the breeze, and look good. Thanks again!

I have not made a flag with taffeta. Sorry I do not know, but if it is light weight it should work.

I sewed a flag. But the central logo doesn't adherit perfectly When hanging the flag. The central logo goes down Did I do something wrong or is it normal?
