I have been making patches by first cutting the bare patch out of the fabric. use the embroidery machine to run stitch multiple patch outlines onto hooped backing material. Use temporary adhesive to tack patch fabric onto backing material inside the run stitch outline. Do a run stitch to tack embroidery fabric around perimeter of each patch. Do an underlay stitch around patch border and finish border with satin or complex stitch overlay. You now have blank patches to embroider what ever you like onto. Save the outline and tack down run stitches as a templates. Use a small hoop and do the run outline onto backing material. place a bordered patch in run outline. Convert tack down run stitch to art segment and fill area with desired embroidery pattern. embroider onto patch.
Hi, great idea to cut out the patches with the laser. Let me suggest to try Lightburn software for the laser I haven't had problems using it with my laser.
Great video. I also have made patches in the past & used my Brother Scanncut to cut them out in the same kind of multiple format. I encountered the same issues in terms of getting consistent outlines & offset. I found that to be the most time consuming part but also much quicker & less effort than using scissors. Your laser is a very nice piece of kit.
Hello, this is a great video. I want to do exactly the same as you, laser cut out patches. How accurate is the offset of the camera? Less than 1mm? It all looks very good in the video.
Hi, so when you cut more than one of the same sheet can you drop the previous outline onto the next sheet? I have a 6 head tajima for sale if you’re thinking going big time!
Tq, now i understand how their functions

Interesting how the commercials for this Vid are all commercials about Laser printers. Including one called "Laser Pecker" LOL .. Cracked me up :)

Clear and honest video of the process thank you some just waffle on can’t wait to see what else you show next
Why don't you create an outline in the embroidery with a run stitch so you can cut on that line without fussing around the real edge of your patch?
That is a good question, I will try that 😅
Been enjoying your videos lately as I wait for my embroidery machine to arrive. You seem like a really fun person😊
