The fabric is then sewn along the pattern lines to the fabric below and as the stitchery sews down the pieces as they go they turn the excess fabric below, so it is sandwiched between the fabric on the top and bottom layers. This also hides the stitches and the extra material pushes the top layer out creating a three dimensional effect. Needle-turn Appliqué must be done by hand or sophisticated machinery.   --- **Flagpole Repair & Maintenance** Accent Banner’s Field Services team provides expert flagpole maintenance services—to ensure that your flags, flagpole, and related-hardware remain in top performance, appearance, and condition. **Flag Cleaning & Repair** Did you know that outdoor flags can be cleaned, repaired and rotated to prolong their life?
