If you want to produce customized patches then you can certainly very easily do it yourself. You can get all of the dogsecurity materials that you need to have easily at stores where you can obtain predesigned patches. The most important selling point of using an iron on patch is that you can invest all the time you want to in producing them but should spend not much time linking them.

You will have to have your materials set up before you start developing your patch. But before you can get your materials think of the style and design of the patch that you want to produce. Once you’ve the layout made to size you have to sketch or trace the same to the cloth. Ensure that you don’t embroider the style onto the cloth without the hoop in order for the completed pattern comes out flat. Now place a tear away backing fabric on the wrong side of the patch and connect the embroidery ring in position in order that the design is tight. You may even use some backing spray to attach your backing paper into position.

Now you can start off embroidering your iron on patch. Ensure that your thread is not longer than two feet at one time so that you could embroider easily and don’t need to work with unnecessary tangles and knots. Now embroider along the design ensuring that you start each length of the thread from the back of the pattern in order that the knots or extra lengths don’t emerge in the front of the pattern.
When you have completed embroidering your patch take it out of the hoop and take away the backing paper by tearing it off delicately. Take a little iron on sticky paper and cut it to the same size of your patch. Now place your patch face down on an ironing board and place the iron on sticky patch glue side down on your patch. Take a fresh piece of cloth or paper towel on top of the sheet. Set your iron on the low configuration and iron the adhesive onto the patch. You may even use the silk setting in your iron. The paper towel or rag will guarantee that none of the glue gets ensnared in your iron.

Your embroidered iron on patches could be ready to work with once you accomplish this step. Now all that you need to do is peel the paper backing the adhesive behind the patch, put it where you would like to place it and iron it firmly in position. Iron the cloth inside out in order that the adhesive gets appropriately activated and will keep the patch in place.
