The Particulars of Patches

　　Patches are generally made from either cotton or poly twill, although suppliers can use special fabrics to create custom patches. “If your customer is a Scottish group, they might want plaid as an alternative,” Simon says.

Most patches have a Merrowed edge, which gives them a decorative border and keeps the fabric from unraveling. Unless you’re getting heavily into the patch business, you probably don’t need to purchase a Merrow machine, as suppliers sell patches ready to decorate, Batts says.

Suppliers offer patches with or without merrowing, the latter of which requires a satin stitch around the edge to create a border. You also can purchase patches with or without an adhesive backing. “Adhesive adds stability and allows for less puckering after laundering or dry cleaning, so I highly recommend it,” Simon says. If you purchase patches without an adhesive backing, you can apply your own. Some companies that offer the blank patches also sell the adhesive or you can buy a product such as Heat N Bond at many sewing supply stores.

Numerous suppliers offer patches in stock shapes, and many also offer custom-made shapes. If you’re doing a high volume of patches, you may want to purchase special embroidery clamps made to fit stock shapes and military name tags, Batts suggests. Once you have the patches in hand, you can heat seal them, sew them to the garment, or both. “In the past, most people sewed them, but with the advent of better adhesives, we’re seeing that tradition change, and more and more people are heat sealing them,” Simon says.

Whether you purchase them premade and ready to go, or you decide to tackle them entirely yourself (see “Make Your Own Patches”), it’s clear that patches are more than just a great add-on decorative option — they’re also a great add-on for profits.
