I decided to make the Or Nue Flag into a needle minder by stitching a row of tent stitches around the border first with Kreinik#8 Braid in matching 002HL. I placed two round magnets inside and two on the outside of a piece of the top edge of canvas and folded it down to meet and tuck under an upturned bottom edge. I cut the sides right up to the stitched sides which probably wasn’t the best way. The magnets won’t come out but those sides will wear faster than the top or bottom edges. I did a cinching kind of running stitch with Kreinik #4 Braid 002HL along the 4 sides. Not a pretty finish on the back but I’ll be looking at the front!
It is about the right size to be made into a pin but I’ll get more use out of a needle minder.
