How to Design Your Own Embroidered Patches

You don’t need to be an artist or a designer to create your own custom embroidered patches. Anyone willing to pump out their creative juices can design a patch in just a few quick and easy steps.
Are you designing the patch for an upcoming school event? Or is it for your sports jersey? Or are you designing one to add a new element to your denim jacket?
Whatever the purpose, this blog will guide you through each and every step.
After you are done with designing one, simply click here to get your custom patches to life.
Let’s get rolling.

1.  Select a patch shape
The first step to creating a custom patch is coming up with a shape idea.  You might be tempted to add a lot of elements to your patch design, but remember that minimalism is the key.

It could be a heart, a circle, a flower, or anything that lets your creativity flow.

To make things easier, here we have some shape suggestions. 
 
2. Select a font

The patch doesn’t necessarily have to be a shape. It can even be a text.

Maybe you want a patch that says your team’s name, your name, or simply displays a message.

For the text patch to vividly visible, make sure to go for a thick, bold, and block font. The letters should be at least 14 pts in height to be visible. Here are a few suggestions.

3. Choose Colors

Now is the time to breathe colors into your design.

Pick contrasting colors for a patch that catches the eye, even if it is placed at the farthest of corners.

Have a look at the extensive thread color chat of Advantage Embroidery. Here you won’t have to manage with the only pink, red, or green available. They have every possible color on the palette available in the chart. Click here.

4. Choose a backing

Determine the backing according to how you want the patch to go on the fabric.
•    No backing: Sew the patch on any fabric or accessory.
•    Iron-on: Simply iron the patch over the fabric to let it stay.
•    Peel and stick: Peel of the paper and patch sticks to the fabric in no time.
•    Velcro: It helps rotate and replace the patch immediately.

5.    Choose a  Border
•    Merrowed Borders: This border is slightly raised and is ideal for designs that aren’t complex.
•    Die-cut borders: If your patch has a complex shape, which protrudes out, then go for a die-cut border.
Now you have all the five elements in place and it is time to bring your custom patches to life.
