Is it possible to sew patches on a nylon backpack? I don’t actually know what mine is made of but it’s obviously not cloth. I have the patches glued but they still can come loose.
It definitely looks possible! You may be leaving tiny punctures in the fabric with the needle, which I’ve done on a few bags. But I didn’t care too much about that outcome.
Maybe I should rephrase lol...is it possible for a person (such as myself) who has has zero sewing experience to sew said patches. Think I'll just stick with glue...
I already know what’s going to happen. I’m going to watch that video and then YouTube will think I want to see nothing but sewing videos. It never fails.
The LL Bean Boat & Tote bags are the best! I picked up my favorite one at a Pittsburgh yard sale for $1. (Which makes me love it even more). I love the idea of sewing patches on.

Yes! If you can put a knot in a piece of thread and thread a needle, you can do it! I will even do a zoom session if you want.
Hmmm, that might be more advanced than my skills. I was never much of a cub scout. Might be safer to just stick with glue.
I have faith in you... this is a simple visual of what I do, but I make my stitches a little bigger so that they fall inside the border. Either way works! https://youtu.be/mwDEvZmlwf4?si=AWejK0j8HhVIX4tN&t=47

I have soooo many! There used to be a big canoe filled with the returns/mess-ups at the outlet in Freeport and it was glorious.
