Determine
what size celebration flag you would like. The standard sizes
are:
12" x 16" (small)
18" x 24" (medium)
24" x 32" (large)
In the
Celebration
Flags category you'll find three sizes: small, medium, and
large. These sizes coordinate to the above finished sizes.
For example: If you wish to make a celebration banner that is
24" x 32", choose the large size of the designs.
For the small flags, the flag design has been divided into two or three
sections, and you can sew parts A, B, and C to result in a complete
design.
For the medium and large flags, the designs that compose the flag design
are included for you to arrange however you choose.
Here is how to construct your celebration flag:
We sewed on a variety of fabrics, including canvas, nylon, and
denim. For each flag, we hooped the fabric with one layer of
cutaway stabilizer. When sewing on nylon, we used spray adhesive
to keep the fabric from scooting around in the hoop.
Arrange the designs on the fabric as you prefer. If you are unsure
about placement, try using printed design templates to find the perfect
placement. To make a template, print the design from your software
at full size and cut closely around it, then arrange on the fabric,
marking placement as you prefer.
Allow 3/4" on the right and left sides for turning hems, and
3" at the top for the rod/pole pocket. Seam allowance at the
bottom will vary depending on if you are making a straight,
single-point, or double-point bottom. |

Sew the hems on
the left and right side. |
|
|
|
| Turn the design
over and sew the rod pocket. |
|
|
|
|
Finish the bottom
hem. For a straight bottom hem, allow 3/4" for the hem. |
|
|
|
|
For the pointed
hem, allow an extra 6" on the bottom of the banner. Fold the
banner, right sides together, and sew the short end
together. |

For a
double-point bottom, measure 2 1/2" down from the bottom-center of
the embroidery to find the top point of the triangle. Determine
how long you want the points to be, and measure and mark on each
side. Factor in 3/4" for turning and hemming. Cut out
the triangle and clip the center of the hem allowance. Finish the
hem.
Now visit a craft or hardware store for a dowel or flagpole, and hang in
our outside your home! |
