@suzannebez sorry for the late reply but yes, it does work. I recently finished a patch with mod podge by folding a few strings back at a time, taking a skewer, dipping it into mod podge and carefully spreading the glue over the strings so that they stick to the back of the patch . You could definitely use a popsicle stick, a paintbrush handle, or even your fingers to help the strings stick down to the patch (don't be limited to these three things though, there are definitely more things that you could use so get creative). I would be mindful of how much mod podge you use though because wherever you put the mod podge it will become a bit stiff so if you use too much it will probably make the patch harder to sew onto things like a jacket or a backpack if that's what you're choosing to do with your patch. I hope this helps!

Would this work with mod podge instead of glue? 🤔

@rocibogado (I translated it with a translator so I hope I got the comment right) you can easily sew a patch clip on! I have never done this but I sew a lot on other alphas so I know it is do able and not that hard.

@lars the working string will be seen when you are knotting. Don't worry about it while knotting. I cut them when finished and secure the ending with a little bit of glue, so they won't be seen anymore 😊

I'm making #75791, and I don't know what to do. There's parts in the pattern that are like, knots, then space, then knots. For example, the ears have a space in between. Would the strings show? Or, do I not need to worry when I cut them?

Wait- i' not 100 percent sure, but did you use the upside-down alpha technique? You prob didn't but Idk it looks like that to me. Idk if that is offensive or not but I just want to say WOWOWOWOWOOW it looks AMAZINGGG also the cover photo is beautiful ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

@geengar it does work with normal alpha knotting but some patterns are better than others, especially if you want the border to match the pattern instead of being a square/rectangle

@geengar no, not at all. You can see on @its_jenny s examples they are beautiful with normal technique 😍

does the pattern need to be made upside down or does this work with normal alpha knotting?
