How to make a Patch on Embroidery Machine - Patch Embroidery

Today is how to make a patch on embroidery machine, yes your embroidery machine. I go through all the stages and supplies I use to make custom patches with this patch embroidery tutorial. How to Make patches is really easy, it’s just getting the sequence right, to get that perfect embroidered patch. Custom Patches are awesome because you can apply the patch to almost anything. From custom sewing a patch onto your garment or heat pressing a patch which I do in this video. You can even make hat patches or cap patches, how awesome!

I did a patch a way with the water soluble topper. folded so was thick, hooped did a patch as normal and peeled away. Came out really good and as the toper is clear, you cant see the edges

[@vanessat30]

Awesome work Mike, thank you for sharing your skills with us! How has your Melco held up? We are in talks now with them and Barudan for our first machine. Thanks Mike

[@KeeponCreatingTV]

Hey Justin! Thanks for the comment. Melcos have been pretty good, I don’t think any machine is without flaws though haha. Sounds very cool about your new first embroidery machine. I looked at them too, let me know if you get it 🤘

[@cheryll6232]

This involves sewing - me no sow haha, thanks Tommy ;-)

[@MessinjureDuv]

Nice vid. Try floating the fabric on the hoop. makes it easier to cut before border. Cheers

[@versus023]

What’s the machine you use? Great video man and great looking patch

[@VidaEats]

How durable is the iron on application ? I know it may not last as long as sewing but just to get an idea?

Hi what kind of machine are you using? Thanks!

[@lensartfilms6717]

where can i get the adhesive velvet to purchase

[@roohamin4187]

Good morning !I like to start embroidery business and I need your suggestions. what would be the best machine to buy

[@ortega8724]

How much does your set up cost? Are you able to make patches in a bigger size?

[@lauralang1249]

Was it 2 layers of tearaway you used with the felt? P.s love the video! Thanks!

[@KeeponCreatingTV]

Hi Laura, you can you 1 layer, if your design doesn’t hold in registration use 2 layers

[@colourfulgenes]

@@KeeponCreatingTV Hi Mike, you've recommended Iron on to people in Amazon links but it's clearly tearaway - can you confirm?

[@KeeponCreatingTV]

@@colourfulgenes Hi There, it's cut away backing to stitch the patch and iron on in the last stage for the glue part of the patch.

[@colourfulgenes]

@@KeeponCreatingTV You've said it's tearaway here though and I would agree with that as I've never used a cutaway I could tear like that 😬 I'm just confused, is it cutaway, tearaway or iron on you've used on the initial design as you've now said it's all three?!

[@KeeponCreatingTV]

@@colourfulgenes I use a tear away backing when embroidering the design. After this when you have torn away the tear away backing and you are left with the patch only, you can then go apply the badge backing. I don't use cut away backing.

[@andrew6608]

whats the best home embroidery machine under 2k? I had the pe770 for a while but i want an upgrade

[@KeeponCreatingTV]

Hmmm, I would be looking more at a pr650 but may have to be second hand to bring it under 2k. Something I’ve wanted to research for awhile, but that’s where my heads is. Good colour options, low service fees and easy to adjust settings.

[@angelbenitez618]

Do u do custom patches ???? You can do like 5 of them for me no problem with that machine ... any way you can help me ?

[@KeeponCreatingTV]

5 may be a little pricey as it will take on all the setup costs, but send your design over so we can see it. Thanks ;-)

[@DyvaGamezz]

I am new to these, what machine do you think would be best for making back patches? Like MC style?

[@KeeponCreatingTV]

So many machines, but Melco's are great!

[@glennmorel4884]

what backing do you use? my backing is too thin i think. it will tear, so when i cut away the fabric i have a gaping hole. at the side ...

[@LS-jk3fk]

could a cheaper (under 1000) brother machine do this? I want an embrodiery machine for persoal reasons, just enough to produce from an image, and make a small patch. again, hopefully under 1000, and it can be any.

[@eandm_creations]

Yes, absolutely. I make used to make patches on my SE400 all the time. I actually watched this video as a reminder since it's been a few years since I've made one.

[@JuicePress43]

Is there a difference between using felt vs tweed?

[@KeeponCreatingTV]

Felt is more "Fluffy" and tweed will be flat / smooth and thinner. You'll have a more in register embroidery with felt, but it can embroidery exactly the same with tweed. 🙃

[@raadon3142]

What brand heat press is that?

[@RayRayNYC]

How much is your embroidery machine? Where can I get one?

[@angelbenitez618]

Omg I just watched your vid... any chance you do custom patches with your machine .... please help me and let’s talk numbers

[@KeeponCreatingTV]

Hi Angel, thanks for your comment. Yup we can create custom Embroidered patches drop us a line with your design to [e-mail] so I can see what you are looking for. ;-)

[@j_holtslander]

But how much is the machine and who makes it?

[@assayagrod]

what black backing do you us? for us in USA

[@KeeponCreatingTV]

I’ll see if I can find a similar version

[@d25custompatch54]

I like This machines . .

[@KeeponCreatingTV]

They are awesome. Thanks for the comment

[@JuanAlvarez-xl6cy]

Where can i get the sticky paper for them? So i can iron it . Whats the name of it?

[@KeeponCreatingTV]

Tried to copy and paste, but couldn’t, I’ve put the links in the top comment and in the description 😉👍

[@RareFilesClub]

That final satin stitch border doesn't unravel once you rip away the stabilizer?

[@KeeponCreatingTV]

Nope, make sure you do a suitable tie off on the inside of the border 👍

[@angelasandall7362]

Hi Mike, What is the backing on the patches please. Thanks Anj

[@KeeponCreatingTV]

Hi Angela, not sure where you are based but these are the 2 options: For the Uk / Europe amzn.to/3iaemem For the US amzn.to/2BQ1MjH Thanks Mike

Isn’t it easier to just embroider this on a actual shirt? I’m thinking about buying a melco and learning embroidery. Also i suppose this is how those champion t-shirts with the C logo on the left hand sleeve are embroidered as well since they are heat press patches.

[@KeeponCreatingTV]

Much easier to embroider straight onto the item, but some people want patches 🙃. Yup Loads of companies use patches to stop the fabric puckering. Thanks for the Comment 🤘

Hey Artfulness, you can still create patches. on single colour embroidery machines. Exact same sequence just not all the color. Thanks for the comment.
