Another great video Dante! Just to clarify, having the crosses on an officer's bullion eagle is okay (though some don’t have em), but they must go THROUGH the bird chest. The Pakistani ones and most fakes simply have the wires lay on the surface of the chest and not “sewn” to the patch.
Intresting information. The large green police eagle with the odd shape in the beginning bis for a police saddle blanket. Maybe you can answer a question about the WAF? Is it still active, and are there recent posts? I was a nonpaying member years ago, but the few times that I've visited lately, the posts are old, and sometimes I get a message that this site is no longer available. Thanks for a good video.
@@joeschulz7997 hi Joe the WAF is very much alive. However, they are undergoing some changes and it’s tough to do on an old platform so they are running into some hiccups for instance right now to become a paying member. You have to email them and send your payment in via PayPal manually
The threads on the reverse (fed by the bobbin) are called “back threads”. I know, too obvious! Han De Bree’s book on US WW 2 patches talks about all the technical details of period machine embroidery.

Back threads! Lol damn! Well i guess it’s synonymous with bobbin thread! Lol
Excellent tutorial!
