I have my daughter's band letterman jacket to work on. This was helpful. I did look on her jacket on inside of sleeve where her year was placed, and I do see where it'd been resewn.
I know this video is old, but I was wondering what thread you are using and what size needle? I have a very similar machine, but I am worried about the needle leaving holes that are too big. I usually use bonded nylon in my machine. Your thread looks thin and I saw the lady at the jacket shop using serger thread! I only have tex 70 or 90 bonded nylon (not sure which). I may not have the right color either and that type of thread is expensive.
Hi Ciara, I’m not gonna lie…opening up a very expensive jacket is a bit nerve rattling. Because of our current situation with COVID we have had three manufacturers go out of business that supplied letterman jackets…we haven’t found a supplier yet that isn’t more than a year out for receiving them.
I haven’t seen a patch on the sleeve of that style jacket. The fabric may make it slightly more difficult since it might require some additional pinning to keep it from slipping. If it is something you do a lot of I would look for a post bed machine but they are very expensive but you wouldn’t have to open the sleeve up. In most cases not all you can open that inside sleeve seam and carefully pin it and sew it back together after applying your patch. I hope this helps a little.
Hi Deborah, thank you for watching! I totally just hold the patches in place. However, if it is the first patch and I don’t have another to guide me already on the sleeve, I will use double sided 3M tape or pin them in place. I hope this helps.
@@deborahwoods8253 for small patches $5 each before tax…large patches $10 before tax. Depends a lot on your area too. I would recommend calling a local chenille embroidery shop near you and ask what they charge to get an idea of what the going rate is in your area. Typically $3-5 for small patches around here.

Didn't bother picking up my patches
I would love to do the jackets because no one does them around all our small school but I am not a sewer!! Lol

Hello, any advice on down parka type jackets?

@@Pookyandbell it does thank you so much!
What do you for putting patches on a sleeve?.

Are the patches centered on the seem?
Depending on the jacket...yes, I use the seam to center my patches on letterman jackets.
