DH left his flag out during a thunderstorm, and afterward found a slit in it. I inspected the damage, and it's only the stitching given way
-- I can overlap the flat-felled seam and top stitch it.
Fading will send the flag to the Legion hall at the end of this summer or the next, so I'll use thread I've already got.
I've got "long fiber" (i.e. chopped into staple) polyester and filament nylon. Which will stand up to sun longer?
