How To - Change colour of gear gator stitching - Cameron UK - 15:th-Apr-2014 I thought i would show you howto change the color of the stitching I used a bright red pen, when its got a shadow on it, it looks maroon, when the sun is shining it looks bright red. Colors that would work great: Red. Yellow. Black. Light blue. Bright green. Orange. You will need: Red Sharpie. Patience. All you need to do is to use the sharpie as a brush rather than a pen and paint each individual stitch separately. also i dot the pen in the needle hole between each stitch to make sure you dont miss any.
