📝 Detailed Breakdown:
For many simple shaped patches, the two main products I use are the twill fabric from Gunold and 4mil plastic sheeting from HDX (Bought at Home Depot). The first step of my process is to get the shape of the fabric by setting it into the hoop and having the machine embroider the outline stitching. This step can be skipped if you have a capable cutter machine such as a Cricut or laser cutter. Once the stitching is done, I simply cut out the circle carefully and as closely to the stitching as possible to ensure the best for later. After this is done, I simply load up the mighty hoop with the plastic sheeting and make sure it is tight. With this, I reset the design on the machine to restitch the outline stitch that helps me identify where to place the fabric. Although I am comfortable holding my fingers onto the hoop while it is stitching down the final satin edge, I HIGHLY recommend you to either use spray adhesive or a tape to avoid injury. Many people have their fingers punctured and needles broken inside because of this. Once the edge is secured enough, simply let the embroidery machine complete the design. At the end, you can easily push out the design from the sheeting and use a lighter to clean up any excess threads and plastic that you do not want. Use the lighter sparingly as it will burn/split the polyester thread. After it’s cleaned up, you have yourself one perfect edged patch!
