Embroidered IRON-ON PATCH Tutorial | Make Uniforms Fast | Ricoma Embroidery Machine (EMB Hub Ep115)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This week on Embroidery Hub, we’re teaching you how to embroider iron-on transfer patches! This technique is a fast and easy way to iron on patches to any garment like T-shirts and polo shirts to quickly make uniforms for volunteers or to simply add flair to any garment.
Just like our previous episodes, we’ve created our own design for this project, which you can download for FREE in the description down below. With the high demand for volunteers to help businesses during these uncertain times, it’s important to come up with innovative ways to help your community.
To create this iron-on patch, we used a few materials that you might already have in your embroidery arsenal. The materials you’ll need are a pair of curved tip scissors, two sheets of cutaway stabilizer, a lighter, an Ultra Hold Heat n’ Bond fusible sheet, and a D hoop (or any size hoop that comes with your particular machine).
We also break down the cost of the materials and show you how much patches are typically sold for on Etsy. That way, you can get a good idea of the ROI you can expect per patch.
Begin this project by hooping the stabilizer and loading it onto your machine. In this episode, we are using Ricoma’s MT-1501 embroidery machine.
Once you load the “Volunteer” file located below onto your machine, choose your desired color scheme for the patch (we already chose ours). Trace your design and press start. For the purpose of this video, we are only embroidering one patch, but you can choose to embroider multiple patches by duplicating the file. You can also use a larger hoop to create multiple patches at once.
When the patch has finished embroidering, use the curved tip scissors to precisely cut the outline of the volunteer patch. Flip the patch over and cut any excess thread. Finally, use a lighter to burn the stabilizer around the edge of the patch and any other loose thread.
Next, you will place a piece of Ultra Hold Heat n’ Bond fusible sheet on the back of the patch (make sure it’s the textured side). Take your iron and press the Heat n’ Bond onto the patch in increments of 6 seconds. This will help the glue adhere to the patch. Keep doing this process until you see that the paper becomes see-through. Flip it over and let it rest for a few minutes.
Cut around the edge of the paper with your curved scissors. Then you can remove the paper from the patch, revealing its sticky back.
Finally, to adhere the patch to the t-shirt or polo, place it on the left chest. Now place an extra piece of fabric on top to protect the patch while ironing it. Iron over it until the patch has fully adhered to the t-shirt.
There you have it: iron-on, embroidered patches from start to finish! Ready to begin embroidering? Download the design below.

Helpful! Also, do you need a base fabric for the patch or creating the patch directly on the stabilizer is acceptable? Thank you!
@ricomatv
3 жыл бұрын
if you are doing a stitch filled patch, stabilizer is enough! If you are creating a patch without a stitch fill, you'll need fabric as the back ground. So it depends on the design.
This is totally awesome. Did you use red thread in the bobbin? to get the red on both sides?

If I need to do a patch that includes fill stitch plus applique, should I use fabric and cut away to create the patch? or just do it straight on the cut away? and if I had to use fabric as base does it has to be 100% poly? or it could be any kind of fabric? Please reply

I’m a newbie! What are the pros and cons of embroidering onto a blank patch vs making one completely from scratch? I need to have quite a few made.
@ricomatv

HI there, thanks so much for watching. From scratch - takes longer due to the process and cleanup but is cheaper. On a blank - faster and easier but more expensive since you will need to purchase the blanks. Hope this helps!
one question, How do you program the screen so that you can embroider several patches at the same time?, thank you.

The fact that you are putting it in the hoop with stretch it out by itself. Place the backing on the bottom part of the hoop then press the top hoop into it and voila.

Hi Jonathan, in the video we use cutaway which will not "tear away" and the glue is supposed to hold it firmly.

Could you have placed the adhesive paper, under the stabilizer and hoop it. And thus sew the design into the adhesive paper itself and save the step of having to melt it and cool it?

Because in some cases (like print on demand) you wont be able to predict what color and what size shirt will be ordered. So the patches are made ahead of time and can be pressed in seconds rather than doing the long process of embroidering the shirts after the order is made. Or you may have a customer who wants just the patches to press on various blanks for themselves.
