Start by laying the screen printed front on the fabric you will be use for the back of the banner. I used black flannel (Its soft against the paint and it allows you to turn it inside easily). Next use the guidelines and cut out both the front and the back at the same time. Leave about 1/8" outside the printed line for the seam allowance.
Finished cutting.
Next measure and mark 8 1/4" from the edge of the logo on each side. Trim here for the banner edge.
Now take the back fabric and place it on the front of the banner. Next pin it in place so it will not move while you sew the top and the bottom together. Sew a 1/4" seam along the bottom and top edge only. (you will need to keep the ends open for now).
Remember to double stitch as you start and finish a seam.
Turn the banner right side out.
Be sure to push the arc out as far as possible.
Now press the seams as flat as you can. NOTE!! DO NOT iron the logo itself, it will melt and smear the ink!
Next fold the ends over and press a 1/2"edge. Roll the 1/2" to the inside and press flat.
Now cut the 1" nylon strapping into 15" lengths. Burning the ends after you cut them. You will need 4 per banner.
Measure 1 1/2" from the end of the strap and mark with a pin.
Place the strap inside the end of the banner stopping at your marking pin.
Secure in place with a pin or not, it is up to you. Both work.
Start top stitching with the first strap and sew all the way around the whole banner inserting the other 3 straps as you go.
After top stiching all the way around go back and reinforce the straps as shown above.
Single Adjust Side Release Buckle: need 4 per banner
Sliplock® Buckle: need 4 per banner
Now put on the the buckles and sliplock buckles.
Using buckles and sliplock buckles on both sides allows complete adjustment for all size of leg shields.
