Custom Zemiros & Siddur Cover, Design #650, Matched to Your Tallis & Tefillin Bags

Design #650 is a number rather than a picture, and that is the point of it. The cover is embroidered in the same #650 pattern the embroiderers put on the tallis and tefillin bags, so the two pieces read as one commission. The motif and the colourway carry across unchanged; only the proportions differ, since a cover for a zemiros, a siddur or a Tehillim is a smaller field to work than a talis bag.

There is nothing to select here beyond confirming the design number your bags were made in. The cover goes over the sefer rather than being bound into it, which means it can be moved to a replacement zemiros years later without any of the embroidery having to be redone. Families usually order it alongside the bag set; it can also be added afterwards once the number is on record.

#650 is one of the wider-running numbers in the Malchut catalogue. The same design is made as a challah cover, a challah board, a matzah cover and a haggadah cover, so a household that starts with a tallis and tefillin set can carry a single pattern from shul to the Shabbos table and on to the seder. That is the real argument for picking a number and staying with it.
