Thanks for the video.

[@LovesBranding]

Thanks for watching!

[@carolnieves-delgado8822]

Very nice

[@LovesBranding]

Thanks!

[@jowchie]

One other trick I've seen embro shops here locally is in stead of using a lighter, they use a candle and singe large batches of patches that way.

[@LovesBranding]

Yep! Candle is great especially with bigger batches

[@regina5507]

I've also seen a heat gun used.

[@amf8431]

Does this wash well? Does it not tear inside the badge? Thanks 😊

[@LovesBranding]

This was for a 1-time wear project so I'm not sure :/

[@mussieTil]

What design software do you use. Thanks for sharing.

[@LovesBranding]

For this, I used a premade patch file from FullerEmbroideryWorks.com and just added the text using DesignShop which came with my Melco machine

[@pepegreenpieful]

Do you think this could work out with a brother pe800 machine? Thanks 🙏🏽

[@LovesBranding]

Absolutely! Wouldn't hurt to try it. Patches are the perfect thing to make on the pe800 then you can use heat n bond to apply it onto garments that might be hard to get into the pe800.

[@Xandertook]

Could you do a demo of using this to make jet tags? Or just comment on how? Im thinking using a scrap piece on the back and having it do the boarder last?

[@LovesBranding]

Yep! I've done a video on jet tags: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKK3pn2omLmmorc

[@JNJ99_]

What about using a cricut to cut out your twill before hand and using a spray adhesive to your hooped stabilizer?

[@LovesBranding]

Yep! Would absolutely work

[@ipwnu19]

can i use this to make jet tags?

[@LovesBranding]

Can definitely try!

[@tesoroforever]

is the 6mm plastic better to use or stick with the 4mm?

[@LovesBranding]

It depends on the design. If it's too dense, it might be best to go with the 6mm but I've found the 4mm works pretty perfectly for me. You could also double it up if the plastic starts tearing before the embroidery is complete.

[@tesoroforever]

@LovesBranding I see, yes, I used the 4mm to do a 3 inch patch today and it totally looked like it was severing away as it was sewing the outer patch border but it hung on all the way around without fully tearing away or causing it to misalign so I will keep the 4mm, thank you for you help.

[@craftyworkingmama]

Where can you buy that twill?

[@LovesBranding]

I found it at an embroidery expo! I think it was a product they were testing so I'm not sure if its for sale publicly. If I find a link, I'll reply it

[@LovesBranding]

It is something very similar to this: www.stahls.com/how-to-rip-away-applique-process

[@katherinej51679]

The part you had to cut looks like water soluble stabilizer…I wonder if that’s the case.

[@LovesBranding]

Possibly! I don't use this twill much to be honest

[@sysphotography]

The backing not coming off seems like more work

[@LovesBranding]

It does take a bit of extra work cutting around it then burning it back in but it saves the need for the pre cut pieces of twill for the 4mil plastic method I do. Both ways have their trade-offs, I'll definitely continue testing to see which one I ultimately prefer!

[@phototec]

That product is expensive and the small text embroidery looked very bad, I would never ever give that kind of work to my customer. I use clear plastic sheeting and real Twill and the small text comes out great. The tear-away product you used in this video has a loose weave and I believe that is what caused the problem with the small text. I would not use it.

[@LovesBranding]

Yeah, there are for sure fall backs with this product.

[@normarangel2879]

Where do I purchase this clear plastic sheeting. What's the proper name of this? I would like to try this out.

[@LovesBranding]

@@normarangel2879 You can find it at Home Depot or Lowes, its just called plastic sheeting. Usually its in the painting section of a hardware store because its used to lay down before painting to protect the flooring
