Thank you! My aunt's husband just got a new vest and dropped it off with all his patches ha! I've sewn garments but this is all new to me. Now I feel more confident. Thanks for the adhesive and thread tip!

[@Yourfavoritepunkhippie]

I’m a designer from nyc and I’ve done patch work for a while. This info was helpful.

[@olpoop1]

Thank you PatchStop for featuring Tripp (and the other machine operators in your other videos) that sew the patches onto the garments. Those working men and women need as much recognition as possible for the hard work that they do to get all of those great patches out onto the road, and in most cases, it’s a lot of work in a very short period of time. Ever notice how many folks just stand around and watch the patches getting sewn on at your event booth? Some may be waiting for their patches to be sewn on, but others are there watching the talented machine operators. CD in Oklahoma

I think its commendable to your experience, confidence and business that you made a video such as this helping people who might otherwise not have known some of your trades "secrets"

[@1954evelyn]

Thank you for this video I have been sewing patches on leather more then 20 years I wish I had of known this a long time ago. I purchased the spray glue you use. I still sew on year number and patches on varsity school jackets leather sleeves. I have done about 50 since i bought this spray glue after watching your video. It works perfect just tacky enough to hold the patch and does not gum up my needle or catch my thread. I stitch on a Singer 20U sewing machine I also sew them on A Consew 206rb

[@jessealeman7952]

What is the name of the spray you use?

[@1954evelyn]

@@jessealeman7952 I bought it from Amazon it is called "3M Super 77 Multipurpose Permanent Spray Adhesive Glue, Paper, Cardboard, Fabric, Plastic, Metal, Wood, Net Wt 16.75 oz" the can I purchased on Amazon said "Industrial Grade" on teh cap. it was 9.99 a can I bought 2 cans. They have sellers now selling it for 25$ a can but Amazon also has another can for 9.99 not sure it is the same. The main problem I have with the large can is the nozzle clogging up I think I mostly solved that problem with a pill bottle of alcohol when I finish spraying I remove my nozzle and put it in the bottle of alcohol and before I use the nozzle I very carefully take a quilting pin and clean out the nozzle hole and rub the spray top with a cotton ball with alcohol. That is what has worked for me I am going to search for new nozzles since my can is still over half full and I have used it for 2 years now and done more than 100 patches.

[@jessealeman7952]

@@1954evelyn Awesome thank you will give it a try.

[@1954evelyn]

@@jessealeman7952 One thing I forgot to mention. I use it for holding Year numbers to a leather sleeve and also patches to leather vests. It does not bond them permanently, Be aware if you have to move the patches there is a residue left behind on the leather. I have not found anything to take that off the leather I dried rubbing alcohol because it seems to keep the nozzle from clogging but it does not remove the sticky residue from the leather. one last thing I searched Ebay today and did find replacement nozzles for a very reasonable price Just do a search and they should come up.

[@jessealeman7952]

Thank you for the advice much appreciated.

18 gauge needle OK I’m not sure if I have one of those don’t even know if my machine will do that but good tip with the spray I do have that I think it’s called super 77. Motorcycle safe.

[@amyjohnson8470]

So you just sew over the liner?

Thank you for video very good 😊 and would you mind what brand of glue that you used ? And where can I get it ?

Hey. A #12 needle is fine as long as you don’t push or hinder the feed.

What kind of spray adhesive should be used ?

[@expressivecardsngiftsbykim]

I make my own patches, but have never sewn them on. I have a home singer machine and purchased leather needles but they are 90/14 Groz-Beckert...is this a good size?

[@scottmayes8940]

I would like info on the glue used in the video because I have a patch made and I want to sew the patch on my vest but not use anything that wouldnt be as good!

[@2stroketyson79]

use BARGE all purpose cement glue it works best on leather if not leather use 3M spray adhesive

Question..is it better to have a lambs skin soft leather compared to harder leather for patches to be sewn onto?..I have a harder vest and wanted it for patches..am in the process of softening the vest up some with mink oil paste..any advice welcome. Thanks in advance!

[@2stroketyson79]

no its better for cow leather

[@jennaforbes3930]

Are you using a straight stitch at 1/8 length?

[@sbookeydoll]

Can you do sleeve patches on jackets without removing the sleeves?

[@gonz0thegreat110]

What about sewing on patches if your cut has an upper quilted or diamond stitched pattern thru the chest and shoulders.

[@2stroketyson79]

same concept

[@greywolf2357]

What type Machine should I start out with, If I want to sew patches on leather for people? There are no patch sewers in my area and I have no body to learn from. Thanks

[@iamsherri920]

May we ask what kind of adhesive spray you are using? Thanks so much for this video, you make sewing patches seem less intimidating.

[@PatchStopDaytonaBeach]

Thank you Sherri for viewing and enjoying this PatchStop video. To answer your question, we use the 3M Super 77 Multipurpose Adhesive to keep our patches in place.

[@1playfair]

Great job on the video. Hope you’ve had much success in the last 5 years since you posted it. I have a question. I’m a Marine Corps Iraq Veteran and I would like to do a similar set up with both top and bottom rockers. I’ve heard it’s frowned upon by MCs to use both rockers or 3 patch set up on the back. Would I catch any issues for doing this setup myself on my vest?

[@aliciahaslett3414]

The rockers are usually used by MC’s, but as long as you are not putting an MC patch you should be fine. You may get a couple looks but it’s just to see what it says lol.

[@basedbane787]

It's a bad idea. Veterans usually get a pass but it makes you look like a poser.

[@DUBCITYHUSTLR]

What is the breakdown of cost for this job

[@Stacker_Actual]

What size/type of needle do you use to sew on patches onto leather/denim ?

[@elijahtiempo0818]

Wish I could find stores like this in the Philippines.

[@davidandshawnpennell6556]

Tripp, I just got a refurbished Adler- Meant originally for sewing shoes together. It s a beast. Im trying to sew leather squares on hats. Is there any special presser foot that you would recommend or technique to keep my stitches straight and not chew up the leather? Thanks man

[@PatchStopDaytonaBeach]

Hi David, thanks for your interest in our PatchStop videos. To answer your question, you might just need to tighten that presser foot down a bit to keep it from going all over the place. Let us know how that works for you.

[@LionSharpAction]

Awesome work! That leather vest is sweet, where can I find it please.

[@PatchStopDaytonaBeach]

Currently the leather vests are only sold at PatchStop Road Show locations.

[@doaknife9161]

Will the bear claws or the thing that moves the material through needle snag your liner in your best when you're trying to put your patches on

[@2stroketyson79]

if you are not careful it will

I want same design but for different country flag can do it and how much it will cost ? Plz

[@sgs_gurkgoat6601]

My step dad is sadly about to go on dialysis. When I first met him he handed me a leather jacket. My first. From that day I've been his son. He is a great man, was a mercenary for a few gang (I wont mention out of respect) for 30 years. He has a golden heart. I been thinking about applying a huge patch dedicated to him. I have no idea where, or how, or if it's even possible to attach it. Can you send me a few pointers... or if I can even pay you I'll part with my jacket for a few weeks...

[@infiniteg7852]

Where can I get Patches made ? Any recommendations?

[@clairewilson1431]

What kind of glue? I was at a CVMA event sewing patches on. I used regular pins to hold in place but they bent and my finger is sore. My Singer didn't have much working space. I lost of alot of time with the pins and lack of working space

[@1954evelyn]

What type of sewing machine do you use?

[@deathsquadclan3653]

What kind of embroidered machine is use to create center patches?

[@bobbgorena2656]

Do you hold the wheel to slow it down while sewing? I have heard that you need a monster wheel to sew slow but I thought of holding the wheel.

[@PatchStopDaytonaBeach]

Hi Bobb, Thank you for viewing and enjoying this PatchStop video... All you have to do is if you see that it's going too fast, you can simply catch the wheel and slow it down.

YES!!! Double-sided tape for the win. Been in this game a long time - never have and never will use spray glue.

[@2stroketyson79]

it will get on the needle but you can just change the needle

are you referring to 8 stitches per inch? that would be length not width.

[@PatchStopDaytonaBeach]

Yes, 8 stitches per inch... and that would be length not width

[@daniellewis779]

How close to the edge of the patch should sew?

[@RoninsCorner]

Looks like he's doing roughly a 1/4 of an inch, which is were most patches have a stain stitch. A larger boarder almost like a ribbon. Helps hide the stitching especially with matching thread,

[@lindsayblaz705]

No! 1/16 or so. As close to the edge as possible. I do this for a living.

[@puneet7301]

Please market your patches to INDIA

[@MKlukowski]

Shame you didn't undo the inner lining, sewed the patch, and then sewed the lining back on. In the grand scheme of things, guess it doesn't affect the garment, but it does add that extra 'touch of care'

[@lindsayblaz705]

You are correct. I do this (sew for bike clubs) for a living. I always preserve linings and pockets when possible. And it's always possible.

had a q not a mc member or biker I got a patch set rockers for my band would that be Disrespectful

[@Beltmaker09]

Adam Higginson I don't think it would matter as long as u don't have 1% patches or the patch on the right side indicating mc. I am currently working on one myself it gonna be a four piece a top rocker center picture a bottom rocker and a patch between the center patch and bottom rocker. I making this to honor what happened in Vegas back in October, as my fiancé was was there. The top rocker will have name of the venue the center will be an orange awareness ribbon that I'm making myself. And the bottom rock will have the date. The forth patch with have one of the popular hashtags that everyone has been using saying # countrystrong. The front will also have an orange awareness ribbon
