Can you sew and/or iron patches onto this backpack?

Kam: the backpack material is heavy nylon so if you wanted it to look professionally a commercial sewing machine will be required. And the space is limited that doesn't have design or zippers. The size of the patches are critical also in your endeavor.

You could definitely sew patches onto the backpack - you'd need a good heavy needle though. Unsure about ironing them on though.

I guess you can as long as the padding doesn't interfere or the material doesn't melt while applying the patch.

Definitely does buttonholes - comes with a nifty attachment that you put the button in to determine the correct size of the buttonhole. And yes, you can sew on buttons with this machine.

No, I would go to the fabric store and get something that sews in. I've made handbags before and this definitely isn't what you want. I also tried the iron on inside and didn't like the way it looked. (I can't remember what it's called for the life of me! Sorry)

I have never tried sewing leather. But I would guess it can. I use it mainly for quilting which really beats on a machine and it meets the challenge and does a great job. It is really sturdy.

Yes. Not all patterns however can be entirely paper pieced. There is still some hand sewing and appliquing required.

Not that I know of. It would be nice if it were lined. If you know someone handy with a sewing machine you could have them some somthing on it.

No - as mentioned the build quality is really poor. If you try and stuff this backpack, it will tear.

Although I never did, I would think so. The patch is large enough to be cut in different sizes; I don't see why not.

This material is used to make backpacks for hiking all the time, so I'd imagine it would do just fine. Your stitching would have to match, as that could be the weak point in sewing it.

Yes, this really is for that type of materials. Of course, you still need the proper threads (usually heavy duty nylon) and very heavy duty needles (18 or 20). I would seriously advise you to sew on scraps (or similar weights) to set tension and make sure you're getting a good stitch before you try sewing on your project.

Not sure. I don't sew. This has a backing that is quite thick (side that adheres to fabric with heat) and I'm not sure how easy it would be to work with.

I've never tried sewing them on. However, they are made of fabric, so I suppose you could. Good luck:)

Yes you can stitch over the stich witchery once you get it ironed on!!! For example if you say...were making a lined panel (curtain) then you would iron on SW to your desired returns (hem line) according to the printed instructions on back of packaging on both the face fabric and the linining fabric then the next step would be to stitch both pieces of fabric together! So you would have had to stiched over the SW!!! It will not affect your sewing machine needle in any way....if this was what you were worried about! Hope this helps.

Yeah, you can! I've made a couple of vests from the stuff I got, it holds up well to sewing. At one point I tried fastening eyelets through it, though, and that doesn't work too well unless you punch it really securely. The fabric likes to loosen up around those parts and the eyelets ended up falling out. Still, though, I like it a lot.

There is no direct way to attach a shoulder strap. You could sew one on, but, honestly I would be afraid to. You could get a strap with clips or hooks on either end, like a detachable and attach it to the handles. I think you would be better doing as I do. I put my computer in this bag, and put the bag in another bag with a shoulder strap. It gives the computer extra protection in thinner shoulder bags or even book bags, and I can carry my textbooks or whatever along with it. Hope this helps. It is a good bag, the picture is vibrant, and my 17" computer fit perfectly.

Sounds like a good idea. Try it. Access to a sewing machine would be really handy.

Yes I believe that you can. My issue is it slides around a lot. My girl does enjoy it. Keep track of your patch piece and may even order some if possible. Merry Christmas
