you could sew flexible magnets into fabric. You may even be able to mount magnets into fabric like you would a button.  \n\nOK I GOTTA ASK... What are you making?

There are several ways to find good, inexpensive fabrics. First, see if there are any mills near you. Very often, they will have mill stores where you can buy discontinued patterns at very low prices. I personally have shopped at mills stores in Oregon, Pennsylvania and New York. I know they exist. You just have to find them.\n\nAnother option is to check out the Garment District in NYC. There are many fabric shops along 8th Ave between 34th and about 38th that have inexpensive prices on great fabric. There are also some stores near the Fashion Institute (FIT) further downtown and also some in Chinatown.\n\nI don't know where you live, but if you have a school nearby that teaches design or textiles, check with them. They often will know where you can buy wholesale fabrics because their students need them. Community colleges often have programs for design. Check with them. Crafts guilds might also be a good source of information.\n\nGood luck!

Husqvarna Viking, the sewing machine company, has info on sewing. Threads magazine, Sew News magazine have websites about sewing. I had all of my favorites on my old PC, now my new PC doesn't have my favorites. I'll update the answer when I get more great sites that I always enjoyed on Sewing. Try watching Sewing with Nancy on PBS and she has a website. It is www.nancysnotions.com.

Try this. Iron when combined with other metal elements becomes non-magnetic, yet with varying of the same elements is quite attracted to the magnet.Name the divisions of the metals and explain why.

Use some different Thread Bobbins or whatever those things are that sewing thread come on. You can buy a small Dowel Rod to run through the hole. A Dowel Rod just a long wood stick and Wal-Wort and Hobby Shops have them in Crafts, also, a hardware store have them, they cheap, maybe 40 cents for the size you need.

Most tailor or alteration shops will do the small numbers for about $3 each, the large numbers for $6 each, and the name for about $4.\n\nIf you want to DIY, then get maroon and blue (if it's an away sweater, then white) heavy nylon thread.  This stuff kinda looks like 12 lbs test and you can find it at Wal-Mart or Joann's.  It'll take a while, but go around everything twice.  If it's something you'll only wear twice a month, then one pass should do the trick.\n\nIf you're all thumbs, then get some fabric glue.  As long as you don't wash it in hot water, it shouldn't come off.\n\nLet's go WI-LD!!\n\nGood Luck

You try what the first poster suggests, but it isn't likely to work well. Besides the danger mentioned of doing damage to the equipment, you will have one of these problems that will prevent the result you want:\n1) the electromagnet won't be strong enough to have any demagnetizing effect at all, \nor,\n2) the electromagnet will completely demagnetize the permanent magnet.\n\nUsually magnetic catches consist of a flat steel plate that seats against two poles of the magnet. A better solution is to put a few layers of tape on the steel plate so that it does not come into contact with the pole pieces. Depending on the kinds of tape you have around, one layer might be enough.\nMagnetic force falls off very rapidly as you separate the surfaces.

easies is a magic marker it is very dyi but if done well looks awsome. You can buy patches and sew them onto a t, or you can buy iron on printer paper and download a logo and print it and iron it on. I would probably suggest the magic marker if you are artistic or sewing on patches. good luck

One of the neatest things you can do is to show people what a magnetic field looks like. The only difficult part is that you need some iron filings. It doesn't take a lot; a teaspoon or so is enough. Find a piece of scrap iron, put it in a vise, and file it with a fairly fine file until you collect what you need. (You can use a magnet to collect the filings, but choose one that's easy to clean off like a flat one, because they do stick.)\nNext take a piece of poster board and glue some magnets to it. If the board has only one white side, glue the magnets to the non-white side. Pick a variety, like horseshoe, ring and bar magnets. Now turn the board over and sprinkle the filings sparingly on the white side. You'll see the "lines of force" that define the field. They'll be in interesting patterns. Try not to let the filings get under the board and stuck on the magnets. That's it!

If I were you, I'd try the Miami Industrial Sewing Machines Corporation.  That might be a good place to start.

heavy twine or leather laces. a large needle and an awl. never done it but i think that would be a good start. you also might think about pressure gloves quilters use them to keep arthritis from setting in which is a big problem if you sew leather by hand. if you use a machine just make sure it will handle leather before you buy it broken needles suck
