How To Make Embroidered Patches
How are custom embroidered patches made? They are made by taking your logo and digitizing your design into a format a computer controlled machines understand. Once digitized, thread colors are loaded into the machine and thousands of stitches later, your logo is transformed into an embroidered patch. Here are a few things to consider when you create a custom patch or embroidered badge and we are here to help you every step of the way.
What does 75% or 100% coverage mean?
Think about the fabric on which your design will be embroidered, the fabric can be used to enhance your design as a background color. Do background fabrics make for a better design? If you intend to see the fabric, or the “background”, then your design would classify as 75% coverage. If you cannot see any of the backgrounds, it classifies as 100% coverage.
Patch sizing is easily figured out by using two measurements.
The size can be determined by adding the measurement of the length plus the width and dividing by two: i.e. (length + width) ÷ 2 = size. For example, a 3" by 3" design is considered a 3' patch
