Isn't the seam uncomfortable?
Nah, you wouldn't even notice, trust me.
It's not, the fabric is actually quite light so I can't feel it at all. I would avoid using a heavy denim though, I have used that on a knee patch before and it was too heavy.
I might need to learn this... And get a machine. No way I'm doing this by hand without losing a substantial amount of blood.
Lol 😂. I have done it by hand, but it's tedious and time consuming. Yeah, a sewing machine is the way to go.
I'm currently working on patching a pair by hand and it takes forever. I've also stabbed myself several times but that's just how it goes haha
