Hi guys,
I've been hard at work struggling to duplicate-stitch Mario into a
scarf. FINALLY DONE! My first and LAST effort--wayyy too much work for
me! LOL. I didn't want to knit it in because I wasn't sure of the
pattern, and I figured with top-stitching it, I could always remove
bits and change my mind. That part worked out well. NOW....
Now, I have embroidered a large patch in a pretty matching fabric to
protect the back side of the stitching in this young boy's scarf. The
picture is large--the width of the scarf, almost--so the patch is,
too--about 8x8 inches or so. What is the most attractive way of
attaching this fabric patch to the back of the scarf? I have
embroidered it with the boy's name and "signed" it as well with my
embroidered signature and the date. Thanks!

Best way in my experience , is to lay it on the place you want it and
first use a tacking thread .. see that it doesnt pull etc,, than have
2 metods , 1 sew it on the knitting with a Zigzag catching a stitch
with both `loops`, and back to cloth piece. 2, make an embroidery
Blanket stich around the cloth while sewing it onto the knitted
piece .
After you chose either of the above , turn the work and you may
embroider over the Seams seen on the `better`, side .
If you use an embroidery thread whose color matches the wool it might
be almost invisible , if it is make it into an ornament ,

Ok, I finished it up this afternoon. I used a blanket stitch around
the edges and since it was such a large patch, I put a little bit of
fabric glue around the center bits to help hold the body of the patch
in place. It looks WONDERFUL! Thanks again.
Wendy :D
