Barbara,
What we have done to waterproof the embroidery is apply
a
film coating of clear silicone caulking with a hard rubber squeegee to the
backside of the embroidery so it extends beyond the embroidery by about 3/4
of
an inch. The trick is to work the silicone into the backside of the
embroidery
rather than just cover the surface. Sufficient curing time must be allowed
before folding or packaging!
