Embroidered Patch Border Styles

An important part of every embroidered patch and woven patch order is the edge selection. Finished edges keep patches from unraveling and becoming unsightly. 

Merrow Border

A Merrowed Edge is essentially a sewn border. It is created using an overlock stitch, which yields a uniform edge and prevents fraying.

Hot Cut Border

A Hot Cut Edge is die cut. Heated scissors help create this type of edge. Every patch must have an edge in order to stay intact. Hot Cut Edges are used for more extreme shapes, while Merrow Edges create a rounded appearance.

Do you have a minimum quantity of patches that has to be ordered?

Yes, there is a minimum quantity of 100 patches per design.  We can create a smaller batch of patches but there is a $55.00 under-minimum fee as well as an increase in the patch unit cost.  We can offer as few as 50 patches per design, if you are willing to pay the additional costs.

Does iron on backing help patches stay in place?

Iron On backing is durable.  It’s meant to last.  It adheres to most fabrics and can handle most washing machines and dryers (50-70 wash and dry).  We can send you more specific Iron On instructions per your request.

How many colors can my patch have?

We offer up to 7 thread colors for FREE with every patch order.  Additional colors are only 10 cents extra per color.  This allows you to have the exact patch you want! We don’t place a restriction on the total number of colors featured on your patch. 

How do I measure my patch design so I can calculate the size and cost of my patch?

To get the size of your patch, you need to follow a simple calculation of (Height + Width) / 2.  Add together the largest height and the largest width of your patch and divide that number by two.  Simple as that!
