ORDERING EMBROIDERED PATCHES
STEP ONE: Determine Patch Size and Check your Design

Patch sizes are determined by the average size method. To determine the size of an embroidered patch, add the width (W) and height (H) of the patch and divide the sum by 2. Round the fraction up to the next highest 1/2 inch. The following figures illustrate how patch sizes are determined.

Designs should be clean with no small details. When the patch is embroidered small details will be only one stitch wide and loose their clarity.

Letters and Numbers - Characters smaller than 1/4" in height are not recommended. The absolute minimum for double stitched letters and numerals is 3/16", which is difficult to read. Smaller letters and numerals may be single stitched, but cbut we do not recommend it. We will review your design and advise you if it will not work. We will also provide a stitching pattern if there is a question on the design. You benefit from our years of experience.

Note: If your original artwork or sketch is larger or smaller than the patch, please identify and specify one dimension (heighth or width) that you want on the finished patch. The other dimension will be matched proportionately.

Rectangle

Arched
Oval
 
 
 
Parallelogram

STEP TWO: Determine Embroidery Coverage

The embroidery coverage of a patch is very difficult to assess, even for trained eyes. You will, however, be able to make a rough estimate of cost based on the coverage and actual amount of stitching involved in making the patch. The embroidery coverage will be more if your design requires double stitched letters or numbers. The examples below illustrate some typical embroidery coverages. We have always produced our collectable patches at 100% stitched for the high quality look and feel. We do recommend a mixture of stitched and colored twill background for economical promotional patches.
