pick your fabric that you want monogrammed (I say cotton, it's more stable than satin.)(or you can reverse it) then pic your satin. the satin will be the back and sides of the banner. the cotton will be the front. say you cut your face fabric (cotton) 4 inches in width, you would want to cut your backing (satin) at least 7 to 8 inches wide. then you will pin your fabrics (face side in) all the length of your banner. run a stitch at about 5/8 of an inch, the lenght of both sides. turn right side out. work your fabric so that the back side forms about an inch border on both sides. iron it down. and then tuck your ends under and run a stitch very close to the edge. HTH!

They come in various weights, iron on or sew-on, you go by the weight of the fabric. Pellon (I hope I spelled this right) is the most know/used brand out there. Since it is a banner I would recommend a light weight interfacing. :) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
