Frequently Asked Questions
The term “embroidery percentage” refers to the amount of the patch covered by the embroidery design. If your design has many open spaces and few details, the embroidery percentage will be lower. On the other hand, if your design is more intricate and covers more of the patch, the embroidery percentage will be higher. The embroidery percentage is an important factor in determining the price of embroidered patches, as a higher percentage requires more time and materials to produce.
Embroidered custom patches are intricate pieces of artwork created by an embroidery machine using polyester twill and different threads. They are typically designed to convey a message, theme, event, or logo for individuals or groups. These patches can be affixed directly onto clothing or used in scrapbooks. The twill fabric serves as the main background for the design, while other colours and stitches are used to create intricate details. The overcasting stitch is used to overlay the edges of the twill fabric, making outlining easier. Embellished patches are commonly worn by police officers, firefighters, military personnel, girl scouts, boy scouts, security guards, soccer players, college students, and many more. Embroidered custom patches can be applied through several methods, such as sew-on, iron-on, velcro, or adhesive glue.
- Place the patch on the clothing item and cover it with a thin cloth to prevent scorching.
- Adjust the iron to a temperature of 150°C and place it on top of the patch. Apply pressure and move the iron back and forth for about 20-30 seconds.
- Repeat the pressing process on the other side of the garment, again using a cloth to avoid any damage to the garment.
- Wait until the patch and garment have cooled down completely before handling. This will ensure that the patch has properly adhered to the garment.
Merrowed and stitch borders (heat-cut borders) are two types of patch borders used in the custom patch industry. A merrowed border is created by sewing a specific kind of thread around the edge of the patch, which creates a seal and prevents the outer threads from puckering out. This type of border is suitable for regularly shaped patches such as circles, rectangles, diamonds, and triangles. On the other hand, the heat-cut border allows for patches with complex edges, and the edge of the patch is cut with a hot knife to seal the threads, preventing fraying. The heat-cut border is perfect for patches with custom shapes or irregular borders. Ultimately, the choice between merrowed and heat-cut borders is a personal preference and depends on the design and shape of the patch.
When it comes to attaching patches to garments, ironing is a quick and easy method. If you’re concerned about the patch coming off after ironing, you can always sew it on as well. However, if you follow our ironing instructions properly, the patch should stay in place. For a more permanent attachment, sewing is the better option.
An embroidery is a form of art, and as with any art, slight variations can occur. Unlike printing, where the design can be replicated precisely, embroidery is a different medium that relies on threadwork. Factors such as the weather can even affect the outcome of the design. However, you can rest assured that we will send you a mock-up and sewn-out sample via email for your approval before proceeding with production so that you can confirm the final product.
