Like towels, bags are ideal gifting product to include in your repetoire. As customers do not need to choose between sizes it becomes more affordable to keep stock. Attach a branded swing tag to drive extra sales.
Bags are easily personalised on a machine with a cylinder arm. Attaching the tubular table to your machine and it will support the weight of the bag while it is being stitched.
Here we stitch a duffle bag but many bags will suit personalisation, simply adjust initials to suit. Watch out for bags with an internal pocket that may become stitched closed if it will not slide easily over the free-arm
