Blank Patches or Patch Fabric: You are advised to use heavy twill patch fabric with a crinoline backing which is specially made for patches. If you use Lighter flimsy fabric, you may get poor results and end up being exhausted after wasting your time and energy.

Sharp Needles: Sharp needles are required to penetrate the dense woven twill fabric. You also have to make sure that you are getting the correct needle for your machine. For instance: flat shank needles are good for home machines and round shank for commercial machines.

StickyStitch Peel & Stick Stabilizer: As you may encounter difficulty in hopping the patches, you will get the peel and stick embroidery backing for quick and easy hooping.

Fuse-N-Bond Heat Seal Film: To give your patches a finished professional look, you will need this film. It enables the patches to iron them on.

Iron or Heat Press: Iron or heat press is required to attach the patches on the required fabric or bag.

Step 1: Firstly you have to hoop a piece of StickyStitch Peel & Stick Stabilizer. After it’s hooped, score the wax paper and peel it off to expose the underlying sticky stabilizer.

Step 2: Select your Pre-Made Blank Patch. Stitch the outline of the patch on the StickyStitch Peel & Stick Stabilize with the help of your embroidery machine.

Step 3: Pick up your patch and place it over the outline which you just embroidered. This will center the patch. Moreover, you have to make sure it is straight.

Step 4: Now is the time to embroider your design on the patch. It is recommended that you use a size 11 or 12 sharp point needle.

Step 5: When you get done with this, remove the patch from the stabilizer. Now you have a completed sew-in patch. To heat seal the back and create the iron-on patch, move on to step 6.

Step 6: Now you have to deal with a piece of Fuse-N-Bond Heat Seal Film. All you have to do is to cut it out in a way that it should be a bit smaller than your patch.

Step 7: Having done with that now place the wax paper facing up, use an iron with a temperature of 260 degrees, and press and hold for about 4 seconds.  Let the fuse-n-bond and patch cool for some time.

Step 8: When it gets cooled, gradually pull off the corner of the wax paper. If you see that fuse-n-bond comes up with the wax paper, it means either you did not use enough heat and pressure, or you did not give it sufficient time to get cool.

Step 9: Congratulations, you are all done and now have a professional-looking patch that can be ironed onto any fabric or clothing.
