Thank you for this video, Rebecca! I've watched dozens trying to find how to produce a more professional looking finished patch-finally did-Yours! You presented everything so well, so clearly. I always use your method and have never been happier with the results! My customers are always pleased with them as well. Again, thank you for taking the time to offer this video!
I always enjoy your segments on It's Sew Easy, Rebecca. I didn't catch this one on TV but am very happy I found it here. After watching several others what a relief to come across this one. I was losing hope to find something relatively quick, easy, inexpensive and yet professional looking. Very informative and lots of options. Fantastic! Thank you!
I just wanted to add my comment. This video was excellent. It was well planned, and very well explained. Thank you so much for taking time to help us newbies.
At 4:00 you say, "when you do the last part of the stitching you'll need to be sure you have the same thread in both your needle and your bobbin." My question is: Why? I'm guessing because the satin stitch will be mixed color otherwise, but I don't come from a sewing background so this is new to me.
I usually sew mine on with a straight machine stitch, but you can also back the patch with fusible web and iron it in place; use a heavy-duty product (not "stitchable" or "sew-through") for durability, or a fusible specifically created for attaching patches. You can also use fabric glue - there are permanent glues as well as one that allows you to stick the patch on, peel it off later, and repeat!
I think that's a design in her embroidery machine. She didn't have to download from online. I'm like the lady above & get stuck with the downloading process. She combined her frame choice, resized it to fit the look of a badge & added the whimsical lizard 🦎. Hope that's helpful, I'm still learning too, enjoy!
Be sure you’ve removed the stabilizer, and preshrink both the patch fabric and the garment you’re applying the patch to. Also be sure you’re using the right amount and type of stabilizer; for example, you’ll need a cut-away stabilizer for filled embroidery motifs on knit fabric. An iron-on or adhesive cut-away is the best of all for knits, to keep the fabric from puckering and distortion.
May be a silly question but you added the straight stitch for outline second. How did you manage to stitch it first and not the lizard that you added first?
Brother's machines have a Help screen that allows the user to move back and forth in embroidery designs without stitching. It's useful when a thread break interrupts a stitch out, allowing the user to go back and repair the design. It also allows for skipping parts of a design. For the patch, I skipped past the lizard to stitch the outline, then backed up to stitch the lizard. It's all in the buttons on screen. :)
Do you know where I can find the reusable stuff that is on the back of the pumpkin? That would be so awesome for the sign we use for our fundraising, be able to make one good sign and change out for the seasons.
Hey Rebecca! My name is Rebecca Kemp, also! I love your video about making badges. It was just what I was looking for. I'm wanting to put a monogram on my sewing machine roller bag which is, I think, made of nylon. Have you ever used E6000 glue to attach badges? I'm not sure the fusible material would stick to the nylon, and I've only got one shot at getting it right. (Unless I use the temporary glue you used on the pumpkin🤔) Thanks for the great video!
Sweet coincidence! I haven't used E6000 that way: I use it for non-porous surfaces, but it might work. I'd look for a fabric glue from Aleene's. I'm at a show right now and don't have the bottle in front of me to get the name right, but the label will tell you that's it's the permanent one for fabrics. The temporary adhesive I used on the pumpkin is also Aleene's, Tack It Again and Again (or something very similar). Thanks for writing. I'm at rkbrent.com if you have any other questions.
The octagonal patch may not be available anymore, but it is indeed evenweave (Aida) and was ordered through Zweigart or another needlework-supply company. Try an Internet search for blank patches or embroidery blanks to see what's currently available
This is a great tutorial. However, why teach people to waste time doing that at 5:55? Just cut away the excess and then use the swab to clean the edges
Finally, I found a tutorial that shows every single step to do the patches. Thanks.
This is the best patch tutorial video I've seen yet! Many good ideas. Thanks so much!
Excellent instructions for making patches, appreciated ♥️

We love your video, easy to understand.
Oh, this was awesome. Thank you Rebecca!
Thank you! I wish I'd seen this sooner, would have saved me lots of trial and error.
Great information, gracias!
searched the entire internet for a video like this!! thank you so much!!!!
Excellent! This is exactly what I was looking for to finish some badges for my grandsons.
Beautiful three panel room divider behind you!
Great video, very helpful and professional. Love the giant safety pins wall art in the background!
THANK YOU FOR POSTING. This helped me so much! So ready to make patches now
Really educational.
Wow great stuff here, totally new idea to me and it looks great. Thank you!
THANK YOU!! KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
Rebecca, thank you so much. So clear!
Thank you!!!!
For the applique badge, what do you recommend for hooping and stabilizing if I want to make the badge an iron on?
THank You this is great information.
What software was used to design the lizard? Best regards
This was very helpful. Thanks
excuse my ignorance after your done with the patch how do you place it? do you just iron it on? thank you btw I loved your video very helpful.
I usually
sew mine on with a straight machine stitch, but you can also back the patch
with fusible web and iron it in place; use a heavy-duty product (not
"stitchable" or "sew-through") for durability, or a fusible
specifically created for attaching patches. You can also use fabric glue -
there are permanent glues as well as one that allows you to stick the patch on,
peel it off later, and repeat!
Thank you for the tutorial. Where did you purchase the reusable fabric glue?
May i ask how did you make the tiles with the numbers?
This is very helpful. Thank you!
Please tell me which Brother machine that is.
So that lizard was an image you found online? How do you make your own image and upload to machine ?
I think that's a design in her embroidery machine. She didn't have to download from online. I'm like the lady above & get stuck with the downloading process. She combined her frame choice, resized it to fit the look of a badge & added the whimsical lizard 🦎. Hope that's helpful, I'm still learning too, enjoy!
What is the removable product?
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you! Very informative!
What size of the pattern should be ?
Nice Tutorial
what brothers machine do you have,
Rebecca used the Brother Dream Machine Innov-is X8500D.
How do you avoid the shrinkage when the garment goes through the wash. I find it all crimps up my embroidery.
Be sure you’ve removed the stabilizer, and preshrink both the patch fabric and the garment you’re applying the patch to. Also be sure you’re using the right amount and type of stabilizer; for example, you’ll need a cut-away stabilizer for filled embroidery motifs on knit fabric. An iron-on or adhesive cut-away is the best of all for knits, to keep the fabric from puckering and distortion.
Wonderful video! Thank you!
Which Brother Machine are you using for the Patches?
Good Video, I looked below for the machine type. Thanks
the Dream Machine Innov-is XV8500D Sewing Machine
Rebecca, can you give a link to ultra firm fusible web. I never used it and I do not know what to look for
Maybe look for Ultra Heat n Bond that is what I am using for the back to seal it and iron it onto my garment with the linen setting on your iron

I use Floriani
stabilizers from RNK Distributing. Check with your local machine dealers or
visit rnkdistributing.com and click on

Does anyone know the name of the octanganal blank patch? It appears to be some type of evenweave fabric and I would love to use it for cross stitch.
