==================================================
How To Put On A Print Patch
Choose a piece of material that is large enough to cover both the whole and the thin area round. Never use new material. New print can be washed and faded to match. A pocket might be taken off or the sleeve cut short when material is short.
1. Cut the patch to a convenient shape. Make a single turning on the wrong side.
2. Place the patch in position and pin. Jack, then fold back the garment and sew on the patch. Do not hem.
3 Remove the tacking and press.
4. Turn to the wrong side. Cut out diagonally from the hole to within ¼” of the sewing. Fold back trianglular flap, crease and cut away.
5. Blanket stitch together the newly cut edge of the garment and the turning of the patch. Make a special corner stitch.
