    To tighten up the plastic run your heat gun over it

    Thanks for sharing. I was wondering about using plastics or vinyls.

      Plastic is cheaper since you toss away the majority of what's not used.

    Hi. Just trying to wrap my brain around your method. You used no fabric as a base for your patch, correct? So the stitching is using the plastic to hold it. Also, what do you do about the plastic on the back? Does the HeatNBond Ulta ( or what ever iron on you are using) hold to the plastic on the back?

      Nope no fabric just tear away and the plastic can stay when you are doing a solid filled patch with stitches because nothing but bobbin thread is left to see on the back. I'm here to help if you need me. Thanks for watching!

    I have tried this method as well with the same wt plastic but I find that my patch is tearing away as the needle penetrates which result in an uneven border. What density do you use for the satin stitch? Thanks

    nice! which iron-on adhesive would you suggest?

      I buy from the embroidery store online. It's the $50 roll that after much trail and error have found to be the best.

      They call it a heat seal film.

    I make patches, too and I was wondering about using iron-on backing. Wouldn't the plastic melt when applying the bond and when I attach it to a garment?

      I use tweezers and remove the plastic. The patch is flimsy unless you digitize a fill stitch with about the desity of a grid or use a cotton buckram stabilizer found at Joann's made by Pellon. Follow up questions welcome😁
