- In this video learn how to successfully prepare to create your own custom machine embroidery patches.
Prepping your patch is very important. You can use any fabric you’d like from your fabric stash; felt, cotton, poly, etc.
For professional embroidery patches, we highly recommend “Patch Backed Poly Twill.” (www.digitizingmadeeasy.com/pr...) This fabric is specially formulated with patches in mind. It has a diagonal weave that produces a heavy hold and weight.
Our twill fabric uses buckram to add extra stabilization, ensuring your patches lay flat and have a stiff authentic patch feel.
You must back your patches by using either of these stabilizers. Just remember whichever you use will alter how you proceed with the steps below:
* A no show mesh product (with the fusible interfacing on the one side) or
* A double-sided fusible (such as tacky patch fusible stabilizer)
You can easily apply the stabilizer with either a household iron or a heat press using a temperature of 260F for approximately 12 seconds.
* When using a no-show mesh stabilizer product, take a Teflon sheet, and put it on the very bottom, so it doesn’t stick. Then take your fabric, and no-show meshes fusible and line them up, so the shiny side is to the bottom of the fabric. Then put another Teflon sheet on top. The fabric and tacky patch fusible will be like a sandwich in between the two Teflon sheets. Put it under the heat press for 12 seconds.
* When using a tacky patch fusible stabilizer, it’s essentially the same thing. Put your tacky patch over the fabric, then place a piece of Teflon on top, line them all up and put it all under the heat press for 12 seconds. Then hoop or cut it as you please for a tacky patch back.
I highly suggest using tacky patch fusible in your patch-making process for several reasons. First, it has a double adhesive, so it sticks on one side and becomes tacky on the other side when you put it down. This eliminates the use of “spray adhesives” during the patch-making process.
Secondly, using tacky patch fusible will also give more stability to your patches than when only using a no-show mesh product. Third, the reverse side has a released piece of paper that is perfect when using your plotter.
Prepping your patch this way will give your patch a backing to reduce fraying. Once it’s adhered to the actual fabric and you cut it, there will be no fraying on the edges, getting you a step closer to creating that perfect patch.

Thx appreciate showing multiple types of cutters and the overall prep process. Thank you to all the Deer Family.
Good video thanks
I look forward to all your videos and thank you for taking the time out and producing informative tutorials...you ROCK!!!!!
Thanks so much for your kind words :)
Where do you get the SVG & STITCH files from?
do you need to have backing for your patches if they're just sew-on?
Hi John can you cut the fabric backed poly mesh using the cutting machine
Where do you find your backing? I can't find anything like it online, all I'm finding is the stuff meant to wash or tear away after the embroidery and for patches that's not what I'm looking for.
How many yards/meters does the patch backed poly twill come with on the website?
It can be purchased by the yard. www.digitizingmadeeasy.com/product/patch-poly-twill-fabric/
It is so hard to hear you talk over the loud music, I really wanted to watch this. Why do you/we need music? Not being mean just do not like to try to separate unnecessary music from talking.
We appreciate the feedback and will pass your comments along to our media team.
