How to make easy an embroidery badge from home

Frequently when we would like to use an embroidery badge we visit the store and check out our luck. If you think you are not able to find something that you want at these stores or intend to make something that is custom-made and unique then you could easily make these embroidery badges in your own home. What you need to have is a little dose of creativity and imagination.

An embroidery badge (take a look at dogbadge.com) is generally used if we like to customize our clothes such that we will be seen as a part of a group. So whether it be a garden club. Boy Scout team, hiking club etc, you can make your personal logo and badge from home. You will need a few supplies like a medium to heavy cotton cloth, embroidery threads, scissors, backing paper and iron on adhesive plus some tracing paper.

Begin your patch making by first zeroing in on the pattern and design of the badge. Normally badges are small in proportions so remember that your pattern isn’t too busy. It’s possible to have some words together with the pattern to denote the motto of the group or you can get rid of the words and have only a beautiful pattern.

Once you have selected the pattern you must transfer that to paper. Ensure that you maintain the border thick given that the border will serve as the frame of your badge. Color the drawing out in the colors that you want to work with in the final badge. When you’re pleased with your design trace it on a tracing paper first and then transfer this tracing out on the cloth. Make sure that the color of your cloth is of the background that you would like.

When you have completed this step you have got to fix some backing paper on the back of your pattern. This backing paper is easily accessible at all embroidery stores in many types. There are the wash away papers that wash off easily and then there are tear away ones which you could tear off when you’re ready with the design. After affixing the backing paper secure an embroidery hoop surrounding the pattern being sure that the pattern is in the center at all times. This will help you in embroidering easily and conveniently without worrying about breaking needles or uneven stitching. It also helps greatly if you have a comprehensive design traced to the cloth depicting the stitches that you would like to use.

Now you can get set and commence embroidering your embroidery badge. Ensure that you work with a higher density of thread in making the border simply because this would be the frame for the badge. Once you have completed the full embroidery get rid of the badge from the frame and cut it out leaving a little seam space. After having cut the badge from the big cloth you will have to carefully cut out any additional seam as closely as is possible to the badge. Then you can either stick the badge straight to the garment which you decide on or can put an iron on adhesive at the back of the badge and also have it ready to be used.
