Hello!!

when you heat pressed the patches with the adhesive, does it also act as an anti-snag for the facing of the patch? (since the faces of the patches are getting some heat, i wonder if it melts the poly threads into place).

The adhesive ties the back stitches altogether, the front side becomes even stronger, but it doesn't melt the front side.

Yes you can. As long as remove the carrier sheet, you’re good to go. If you do so, you don’t have to spray adhesive spray.

I found your link for the adhesive. Is it the 965 sheet? We are presently working on an order for patches on a Richardson 309 hat. We used Twill fabric and Ultra Bond, Heat N Bond adhesive. The patches won't stay adhered. We took the hats to another company that does hats to use their heat press. Their press wasn't a nice one and creased the hat. So, we are now going to try Fabric Fusion to glue them on. We have no idea why these hats and/or patches with this adhesive is not working. Any helpful advice appreciated. Thanks.

Not sure if this question has been asked. I am curious to know why not just embroider the design directly onto the shirt? Also is there a way I can cut out the patches with a cricut machine instead of cutting by hand?

@RomeroThreads

3 жыл бұрын

Hello, great question, You can embroider directly on a shirt, but sometimes a customer wants to order patches and place the patches on their own different garments. You can use a Cricut and make the patches as an applique, but I dont think you can do the final cut with a cutter. You'll have to use something like a laser for the final patch cut.

Is there any trick to make the patch look naturally part of a hat? People tell me my patches look like they’re sticking up too much from the cap, but I love patches because you can make them larger than the 2.5 inches or so embroidery machines will embroider on a cap. Thanks!

what size needle is best used for detailed patch ?

Any video on embroidering an actual patch to a garment not heat press?

I did the burning with a lighter, but the white edge I want to get rid of looks yellowish/burnt. I did the exact same thing as you did-not leaving the lighter at the same spot over time. Is it supposed to be like that, or did I do anything wrong? How can I fix it? Thanks!
