Dutch term or phrase: ridderspoor (als merkteken)
'Fouten in de stof dienen aangegeven te worden middels ridderspoor of stickers aan de zelfkant van de stof.'

Kent iemand een vertaling voor 'ridderspoor' in deze specifieke betekenis? Dus niet 'delphinium' (plant) of 'knight's spur', vermoed ik!

This is a ridderspoor:

http://www.grafilabel.nl/textieltoebehoren.html:
"De Standaard pins (riddersporen) zijn verkrijgbaar in:
5000 stuks per doosje"

It's applied with a "basting gun"

And the English equiv is a "tack" or "basting tack":

agree  Jennifer Barnett: Not so sure about the knight connection though; that would be more a flag/banner. (later) The knights' banners were indeed long, vertical and brightly coloured - like the ridderspoor/delphinium flower spikes!
