Guest Catt Report post Posted May 30, 2016 Very simple request here. I'm making a scale mail Captain America shirt. I have a leather star but it's too small. I'd like to stitch it to a larger flat piece of leather and then I need help to figure out how to attach it to the shirt. kittcattdesigns@gmail.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted May 30, 2016 Sew it on like you would sew a regular embroidered patch. A straight stitch machine should be fine, as long as you use regular sewing tread on a cloth shirt, or nylon thread on a leather shirt. You can buy heavy duty thread from Joann Fabrics in 100 yd spools. It is very strong. Use a #16 leather point needle with heavy thread, or a #14 with regular sewing thread. Hold it in place with double sided tape. Try to avoid taping the edges along the stitch lines of the star. If the star is to be applied over a pocket or sleeve, a patch machine will be needed. These machines sew 360 degrees, with #69 bonded thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
