Attaching coins
Needed:
coins
heavy duty thread
Normal sewing thread is easy to break by a jingeling coin. Use sturdy thread if you want the coins to stay put.
1. Pull thread through fabric and secure by stitching back and forth a few times, or secure it witha double knot. Put a coin on the thread and stitch back into the fabric so you have a coin dangling on one thread.
2. now, stitch back into the fabric and repeat, attaching the coin to the fabric by two threads. Make sure that the coin is half an inch/ app. 1 cm. from the edge. Wrap the end of the thread around the two threads that connect the coin to the fabric. Pull the thread so it tightens around the threads. Stitch back into the fabric and secure with a knot or by stitching back and forth.
Extra tips:
If your using stretch fabricl, give the thread extra room inbetween coins. Otherwise the thread might break inbetween coins causing them to fall of faster. It's important that you knot the thread inbetween every coin to make sure that this won't happen. |
