You may have noticed fashionable patches on jackets and caps to give them a more festive look and wondered what goes into them. Those are embroidered patches with a long history dating back to the days when thread stitched decorations were quite popular. In the fashion sector, these decorations are once again a thing. We manufacture all custom-made embroidery patches for occasions and brand placement at Mega Digitizing.
A cloth badge is another name for an embroidered patch. A bespoke embroidered patch can be manufactured afterwards and easily adhered to any other cloth. We have all the right know-how to share with you if you are new to embroidery patching or if you are an embroiderer who is trying embroidery patching for the first time. A beginner’s guide to embroidered patches may be found here.
Make your own embroidered patch at home:
To learn how to make an embroidered patch for yourself, follow the steps below.
- Create a design with larger outlines.
- Cut a piece 2 inches longer than the design on either side. Cut two pieces, one from thick canvas and the other from dress fabric. Using a hot iron, weave the interfacing fabric on the reverse of your fabric piece.
- The cloth component should be painted. Paint with a diluted dark color or, if you’re producing a light pattern, just use black to outline it.
- Transfer your design on the black area with a chalk so that you have a firm outline.
- Make an outline stitch with the color you want the outline to be, and then fill in the gaps with satin stitch.
- Make a second interfacing layer to keep it in place, and if necessary, add more interfacing layers to make it harder.
- Color the edges and cut out the pattern. Stick double-sided fusing to the reverse of your unique DIY embroidered patch, and it’s ready to sew or stick to your favorite cloth.
A tutorial on using a commercial embroidery machine to make an embroidery patch:
These are the basic steps to follow:
- Select a patch. Place the digitized patch design you want to use on your embroidery machine.
- Hoop a piece of water-soluble mesh in the appropriate hoop size to allow numerous patches to be stitched in a single hooping. If you hoop heavy-water soluble film, you can only do one patch per looping.
- Begin embroidery by laying a placement line of the patch pattern directly on the water-soluble stabilizer.
- Place the fabric patch over the placement line and sew it down with the tack-down line.
- Edge the outside of the cloth with a zigzag stitch to connect it to the water-soluble stabilizer.
- Cut the fabric down by keeping the scissors near to the tack down stitching.
- After stitching the elements of the patch, finish with a satin border using a density of 3 points.
- If you used a film type stabilizer, punch the patch in place and it’s done; if you used water-soluble mesh, moisten the edges, or submerge the patch in water.
- After the patch has dry, apply adhesives to it or sew it to the clothing.
