    ***I'm in the final stages of building a ~1100sqft (~24'x48') USA flag, and have put the most difficult until the end. The blue field will be roughly 2.5 bolts tall, 12' or so, 18' long. The diameter of the stars will be 17" (4/5 stripe height), but looking for advice on how to best sew the white stars so that they will be visible from both sides.

    Sew the stars on with edges seamed, then cut the blue out with 1/2"ish allowance, then fold that back over? x50

    Meticulous, repetitive, frustrating, etc.




    Ya want the low cost, low bulk quickie method?

    Paint them on...or silk screen, but that's a pain.


    Yeah - I'm serious...make a poster board template with several in a row, measure and mark the field then use a laser level for alignment...goes fast, especially the 'back' side - keep a single star template and touch up when needed.

    Two hours vs. two weeks! ;)

    Sounds good! What kind of paint do you use?
