@valhalla None of the links work for me. Can't find the site or other problem further down.

@valhalla Why would I think that? Maybe it was a show or something you went to a couple of years ago. IDK - I'm old and forgetful! :-)
I don't think I've seen you post about your and husband's electronic projects lately. You guys did something cool a while back and, yeah, I can't remember just now what it was.

@valhalla Looked best where you pulled it in first with your hands. One man's opinion :-)
Also, no one except you has a clue about historical accuracy!
Although, I think you're in some kind of club in the city?

@valhalla

Direction... Up in the sky?

Just kidding! :-)
Of course, they'd be in front of the eclipse.

@amd @valhalla ?

@valhalla You do know that you are crazy right?
:-)
I love following all the things you do.

@valhalla Fishing line is sold in various 'tests' or breaking strength like 8lb test or 14lb test and so on.
It's normally blue, but heavier tests tend to yellow or brown where I live.
I hit upon using it, because I bought some work pants of very light nylon, but with 2 normal pockets and 6 flap pockets.
But I found out when they came that they had no fasteners! :-(
No problem. I had some rolls of self-adhesive velcro for some reason: problem solved.
Bzzzt! Wrong! The things I loaded in my pockets just pulled away the self-adhesive from the pants.
OK, fine! I added some cyanoacrylate glue (krazy/super glue)...
Nope! Grrr!
So that's when I hit upon using a curved needle and some fishing line. This worked!
Although it *is* hard to push the needle through the velcro. But it only takes a few stitches to hold.
Now, I did have a different couple of problems I thought to apply this to as well.
I had paid a local woman to sew some stretchy velcro onto my rabbit fur hat - it can blow down to nearly -40C here. And I also had a problem with jack-jacket buttons getting stuck in the mesh used to bind Christmass trees tightly for shipping. They got hooked up and popped off.
She, probably correctly, pointed out that I'd likely keep the buttons to the cloth with the fishing line, but rip away the cloth!
So, it depends on the application I guess.
Likewise, I wanted her to sew a button back above the front 'fly' zipper of my work pants. I blame my 78kg for popping it off. She refused an sewed it with thread.
It popped off.
I re-sewed it with fishing line and it's still good.
So.
I never thought I'd be sharing a sewing experience with Elena of Valhala! :-) Seamstress extraordinaire! :-)

Maybe one of them would look OK on a backpack and satisfy your desire for aesthetically pleasing stitches.

@valhalla I have sewn things on with fishing line and a curved needle, but I doubt that has the look your going for! :-)
Mens work clothes.

@valhalla Last night I had chicken breast very slowly cooked over a smokey camp fire for about 1.5 hrs. Rice and Lots of broccoli with caso... so Good! :-)

@valhalla
I eat a Bouquet of those with yogurt nearly every day.
