    Default Project: Making a Huge Flag

    Hello,

    I am seeking assistance, wisdom, knowledge from you all is order to successfully make a huge American flag.

    My understanding is that the world longest flag measures 505 feet long and 255 feet wide and weighs in at 3,000 pounds. My goal is to make one bigger than that. I will find help. It has to be man/civilian made.

    I find that the stars might be the greatest challenge.

    Any suggestions on what industrial sewing machines to use?

    Is there another way to include the stars beside sewing them, but yet solid?

    Any suggestions, Ideas, do's and dont's?

    I know how to sew, this is will be my first time making a flag (as you can see)

    Thank you

    Wow! Now that is an ambitious project! I wish you the best and wish I could offer some wisdom but there are other large flag makers out there. Maybe YouTube has something.

    Thank you PR. I found a youtube video, it gave some ideas but some details are missing.
