What makes it unique
Texture and tradition, done right.
Every embroidery patch is a series of small decisions — base, border, thread — that shape how it looks and wears over time.
Twill vs. Felt Base
Twill gives a crisp, modern finish; felt gives a softer, vintage look. We'll help you pick based on your design.
Metallic & Specialty Thread
Add metallic, glow-in-the-dark or variegated thread for a patch that catches the light.
Specs & options
Built to your exact spec.
Embroidery patches are best for logos and wordmarks with moderate detail — bold shapes and clear lines translate best into thread.
- Base — Twill (crisp, modern) or felt (soft, vintage).
- Border — Merrow (classic rolled edge) or heat-cut for tighter detail.
- Backing — Iron-on, sew-on, adhesive or Velcro hook & loop.
- Sizing — Most patches run 2″–5″, sized to your placement.
Is this the right patch for you?
Best for logos with moderate detail.
Thread has a natural resolution limit — very fine text or gradients won't translate cleanly. If your design has intricate detail or photo-realistic color, PVC patches may render it more accurately. For bold, dimensional graphics, take a look at 3D puff patches.

Questions
Good to know.
What's the difference between twill and felt?
Twill is a tighter woven fabric that gives a crisp, clean base — the modern standard. Felt is thicker and softer, giving patches a vintage, textured look.
Is there a minimum text size for legibility?
Generally, letters under about 1/4″ tall start to lose clarity in thread. We'll flag anything too small during the mockup stage.
Can you match metallic or specialty thread colors?
Yes — metallic, neon and glow-in-the-dark threads are all available on request.
Iron-on or sew-on — which should I choose?
Sew-on is more permanent and better for items that get washed often (uniforms, workwear). Iron-on is faster to apply but works best on flat, heat-safe fabric.
