Cleaning patches….
« on: August 07, 2004, 06:38:20 PM »
Tip: go to the yardage store & buy some cotton flannel.

I recently bought 2 yds (36X72“) for the princely sum--inc. tax--of US $7.98.

Out of this material I cut aprox 650 2x2” patches.

Be sure to wash the sizing out before cutting.

I’d also recommend that you buy a cutting mat, straight edge, & pizza-like cutter. The cutting matt is ‘self-healing” plastic. These will bring up the initial cost, but it will not take you too long before you have the whole kit & caboodle paid for. They will also make it a great deal easier to cut the patches.
