Easy way for you to create an embroidery patch
If you want to modify the look of a garment, bed cushion, blanket or perhaps a lampshade then one good way to make it happen is by using an embroidery patch. Many individuals believe that an embroidery patch is utilized just to hide holes that come up in garments. But these patches can be quite a easy way to accessorize an outfit and also to liven up an old pillow�the list is just as endless as the imagination.
To begin with making your patch you need to start by having all your supplies in place. But before you set off to obtain your supplies spend some time and choose the pattern and style of your patch. Drawing out the design that you’d like in full color along with smaller details such as the stitches that you are going to be using will make your supply buying faster and easier. This step will also make sure you know precisely how your final design will appear. Any changes that you might want to make in the design and pattern are best made now.
The advantage with making an embroidery patch yourself is you could not simply use a pattern in the design but can use a mixture of words and patterns, words alone or patterns alone. You could also design your patch specific to a purpose. One example is if you’d like to liven up a biker jacket or perhaps a garden club bag then you could have a design specific to that particular purpose.
The supplies that you will need are embroidery cloth that ought to be medium heavy so that it is capable of supporting the patch design, embroidery threads in colors on the design, sewing scissors, an embroidery machine or needles should you not wish to use a piece of equipment, backing paper, iron on adhesive or glue.
Once you have transferred the design on paper you have to trace it to the cloth. If you want a border to your design be certain that it is drawn slightly thick to enable you to embroider easily in it. Fix the backing paper on the wrong side of the drawing then fix the embroidery hoop over the pattern making sure that the pattern falls in the exact center of the hoop. Utilizing an embroidery hoop makes sure that your design is embroidered in a taut manner and doesn’t look loopy and loose.
After you have completed these basic steps it’s time to get moving. Start embroidering your patch inside out making sure that you use a rather higher thread count around the border. This will make your patch look almost commercially made lending a competent look to it.
After you’ve completed making your embroidery patch remove it carefully from your hoop and slowly tear off the backing paper. Now cut the patch from the cloth leaving some seam space. You can actually tuck the seam in the rear of the patch, glue on another section of fabric upon it and connect a pin to it or cut the extra seam and employ an iron on adhesive and get it ready to be used.
