@@sorry_badmic1152 do the border edging part of this video, cut a piece of felt to match the back of the pattern, sew a pin to the felt, attach the felt to the cross stitch (with glue or stitches)
I am wondering if you could use an overcast stitch on your sewing machine to finish the edges of the cross-stitch (rather than the folding method). Has anyone tried that?
Folding at least some of the aida over generally makes the edges stronger in my experience, especially when border stitching is the only thing holding the patch to the garment. I've seen people hand-stitch the fold to help keep it down when the pattern has a thick all-around border, so there probably isn't any reason you couldn't do that with a machine.
hello! Ive just made a patch of a pixelart character thats pretty messy of a shape, would you recomend making a square background so its easier to do the edging? or is there another method? should I try cutting it close to the edge, gluing it and sewing the edges?
You do it more or less the same way, but instead of cutting the fabric at the 4 corners of a square, you want to cut it any time the border of your shape changes direction. You can also cut a straight line in the border fabric towards each corner (or change of direction) which will let the fabric overlap on the back. Instead of gluing, you can also sew the border down to make it stronger (look up the video "Cross Stitch 101: Hand-Made Patches" by Milesy for more details on doing that).
You could definitely just sew it together without using glue! I like fabric glue for this because its specifically flexible and washable and this was going on a jacket that I do throw in the washing machine, but pva glue would work.
Thank youuuu!!!! Is just what i needed to know about the patch!
This is such a big help. Thank you!
You’re welcome, I’m glad it was helpful!

What if my pattern isn't square? Help :c
Sorry for the delay, I entirely missed comments on this video! What shape is your patch?
