You have got to have your materials set up before you begin making your patch. But before you can get your materials consider the design of the patch that you want to make. Upon having the layout made to size it’s important to sketch or trace exactly the same on the cloth. Ensure that you don’t embroider the design and style onto the cloth without the hoop in order for the executed pattern turns out flat. Now put a tear away backing fabric on the wrong side of the patch and connect the embroidery ring in position so the design is tight. You may even use some backing spray to mend your backing paper into position.

Now you can begin embroidering your iron on patch. Make sure that your thread is no longer than two feet at some point so that you can embroider readily and don’t have to work with unneeded tangles and knots. Now embroider across the design making sure that you start every length of the thread from the back of the design in order that the knots or extra lengths don’t emerge in front of the pattern.

Once you have finished embroidering your patch take it out of the hoop and take off the backing paper by tearing it off gently. Take some iron on adhesive paper and cut it towards the same size of your patch. Now place your patch with their face down on an ironing board and set the iron on sticky patch glue side down on your patch. Have a fresh section of cloth or paper towel over the sheet. Put your iron on the low configuration and iron the adhesive on the patch. You may even make use of the silk setting in your iron. The paper towel or rag will make sure that not one of the glue gets ensnared to your iron.

Now all that you need to carry out is peel the paper backing the adhesive at the rear of the patch, put it where you want to place it and iron it securely into position. Iron the cloth back to front to ensure the adhesive gets appropriately activated and helps to keep the patch in place.
