How To Hand Make a Patch
Вставка

- Whhaaaaaaatup! What up guys. So today i'm going to show you how to hand stitch a patch.
So get your embroidery backing, cloth (fabric), and your image, along with hoop and your embroidery floss. next put your image under the backing and begin to trace it. I want the reverse image of [my drawing] so what I did is I flipped the backing around and put my cloth on top.
Now take your hoop. Place the smaller one underneath and begin to loosen the top one. you'll want it loose enough so you can place it over the cloth and the smaller hoop. Now pull on the edges of the cloth so it gets tight like a drum. I started with yellow because that will be the majority of the patch's color. You can turn on the light on on your phone and put that underneath so you can see where your image is.
your going to make your fist stitch from the bottom, tie a knot at the end of your string, and then come back on top. I like to start where the very top of the yellow will be and work my way down from there with a bunch of horizontal stitches. Just line by line, starting from right coming up from the back then coming in from the top on the left side.
I found that things ran a whole lot smoother if you cut of your excess string from that very first stitch you made.
If you run out of string or you are done with your first color, You're going to cut it and your going to split that sting in to two separate [stands] its made out of 6 lil strings so its going to be 3 and 3. you take one of the 3/s and sew it under the last stitch you made. and then proceed to make a square knot. left over right and right over left. And again cut off any extra string.
So to do the next colors just do like you did the first. tie a knot at the end of your sting and come in through the back and just layer it on there top to bottom. So rather than going horizontal for lines, on the crust i did vertical ones. Just to change things up.
once you get all your colors finished your going to add in your lines. you start this like any other. to fill in the line in this patch what you are going to do is your going to come from the back a little bit ahead of where you want your line to end then go down through the front where you want it to start. and your just going g to keep on doing this over and over again till you have all those lines filled in.
Once you get that done remove your hoops. you can now tear away that backing. this is where i messed up i shouldn't cut it out yet. i should actually add first your iron on adhesive. but its still going to work. cut out piece of your heat bond roughly the size of your patch.the heat bond has a rough side and a smooth side. your going to place the rough side against the back of your patch. i put a piece of cloth over my patch to protect my iron from the places that i accidentally out out. when ironing on your heat bond. be sure to get all the creases and the front and the back. here i took off the cloth that i had on top that was protecting my iron. but after you have your heat bond your going to want to cut out your patch. your going to want to get pretty close. about 1/8" of cloth around the entire patch. You can remove the wax paper from the heat bond.
Next add a little bit of glue to stop it from fraying. add a dab of glue around the entire edge of the patch. once its dry you are ready for the last step: adding the outside line.
start from the back and pull up. where you think you would go back around and come up again from the back, you don't. you are going to make the next stitch from the top going down. any extra sting you have from the first stitch you can sew right around it, covering it up. mine was pretty long, so i did end up cutting it off.
now you're going to want to work your way around the entire patching. working side by side. making things as close as possible, that way no cloth underneath will be shown.
you end it just like any other one. split it in half. 3 and 3. take one of those, sew it through and tie a square knot. cut off any excess and vuala you have your patch. place it where you was it and your done! Looks good!

This was posted 7 years ago but dude you are a godsend for me in 2024! Great video for me, a newbie. I’m happy I found your channel as I’m on my embroidery journey!

Good Im happy your happy the fact your happy makes me happy
No way! Big respect to you🙏

Make me a kuromi patc 😈
hime dere i’m up to the challenge 😼😼😼
omg finally a tutorial that makes the patch look super professional
thats my goal:)
TensRose it depend of how good you are for embroidery
Shmoxd how to I do it without the patch backing
adsrotufs Soho sew it on something super sturdy like a denim or canvas, this is easier. You can also use a thinner woven fabric like yardage or poplin from the fabric store but tbh the thicker your fabric the easier your life is going to be. Also this will make your patch non iron on so you'll have to sew it on.
Finnley Rak thanks. Papa bless you 🙏🙏🙏
You just inspired me to want to start doing this lol
Bet you didnt even finish one after 5 months XD
Nicole Mejia o
Nicole Mejia then JUST
DO IT
MAKE YOUR DREAMS
COME TRUE
Nicole Mejia Yeah I really wanna try it after watching this
@@zOkaiikoi it's been 3 years now lmao I wonder if she actually did it 💀
Thank you so much for putting out a high-quality DIY video. It's nice to see people showing tutorials for high-quality goods that will actually last, and not just a bunch of hot-glue crap. Subbed and liked.

I’m about to start a custom jean jacket project, so this popped up on my Home feed just in time.
Victoria Roy how is the jean jacket
iTzMarcy Wrld Came out fan-flippin’-tastic.
@@nottori7 sick. I started making a patch for my leather jacket, it's basic, but I haven't seen any patches exactly like it so I figured why not.
ME TOO!
for future reference here's some editing advice. For projects like this where your hands are moving a lot doing a speed up video makes it really hard on the eyes, I would recommend just doing montage and dissolve cut different levels of progression next to each other. That way we could not only see what you're doing but also it would be easier to watch!
thanks! did you see the other embroidery one where I sped things up but kept the hoop still?
oh yeah that works a lot better! I'm definitely gonna have to try this project sometime! thanks!
Colby Spencer dont do too much
instructions unclear, fingers are currently sewn together
Leah Sauceda my friend actually sews her fingers together for fun. She only sticks the needle through the first layer of skin so it doesn’t bleed, but it’s still quite disturbing .
SpookyBread I hate your friend
Dinosaur 😂
SpookyBread I did that once and my grandparents threatened to call my mom and send me to the mental hospital for “s*lf h**ming” again. i DIED💀
@@connersuxx me and my friends do that too-
I saw this tutorial a bunch of years ago when I was first starting to do embroidery and since then I've been running a (semi) successful hand embroidery business! Thank you!
I have been trying to transfer my images onto the fabric, but they never turned out good enough. Thanks to you, now I will try putting the drawing into the hoop with the fabric. As a beginner in embroidery, I cannot tell you how happy I am right now. Thank you!
Of course! :):)
this guy's editing style is flippin amazing
I'm 25 seconds into the video, never heard of your channel before, already subscribed. 10/10
Confused as to why you only have 82 subs??!! Awesome quality!!! Sick patch!!
Thanks:) share some of my stuff and help me out:)
how long was the total time it took you to make this?
2 months after and hitting almost the 10.000
Ellias the Traveler right?! Glad I was here from the get go 😂🙌🏽
A week later and he's at 12,000+. damn
8 years later and you're still helping others
wowza this is the best handmade patch tutorial I've seen so far, thanks mate
that makes me feel awesome!
rina deer keel
Wow! You made things SO much easier! -Loved the idea of using the phone as the backlight! 💡😊 -DEFINITELY saving this to my resources! 🙌🏾
this is exactly the kind of tutorial i was looking for as I m pretty perfectionistic and want my patch to look as good as possible
thanks for making it!
I'm a perfectionist too! I almost didn't make a UA-cam channel cause I wanted the first one to be perfect... but finally decided I needed to start somewhere. haha so don't worry about making mistakes with your first patch:) I sure did.
I can provide u any tipe patch design imbrided with hand just send me sample
This is the most straightforward how-to video I've seen. No 5 minute long intro or anything!
This is the first video of yours I've seen and it's super high quality, the tutorial is very informative, the patch looked so professional and your intro is really cute lol
Never seen a tutorial so effortlessly badass before
You're stitches are so perfect. I'm pretty sure you're not human.
Thank you for this great tutorial & look forward to more :).
I wish I had seen this video when I made one a few months ago. adding the glue is a helpful tip! When I did the outline, it frayed like crazy and made it super difficult
Yah that glue was a life saver.. I did one with out once and it was a painnnn
Try Fray check. You can buy it at Walmart, Joann's and online. Cheap and doesn't wash out.
This is by far my favorite embroidery tutorial, no joke it saved my life. Thank you so much!!!
You’re so welcome:)
Yessss I finally found an awesome tutorial. This is exactly what I wanted
Dude you're awesome!!!!
Thank you!
youuuuu're awesome!! You'll have to show me what you make:)

That looks so pro! I hope I can make some this summer. Thanks for the tutorial :)
Do it! and let me know how it turns out!
It's almost 4 in the morning and I fell like I have just been blessed with a revelation
Your channel is it
Bless you kind sir, I've been wanting to make patches for ages and this is literally the perfect tutorial, straightforward, funny, and easy to follow.
Metalhead here
You have no idea how much i thank you
This is the first video I watched on this channel, and now it's my absolute favorite channel. Super chill, and a bunch of awesome DIY's that aren't overdone. Great job dude. 👌
Omg i DIDNT realize the embroidery my grandma had me helped with could easily be a patch on the correct material. Mind blown
This is the first video I've seen from you... that intro is everything!
Istf patches take so much time and patience to finish them, so much work, yet it's so enjoyable. If anyone's not experienced in this sweing stuff I recommend cross stitching because it is much easier and takes less time and effort, it turns out better too than straight up trying embroidery with no experience. Great job my dude, the patch looks amazing, i hope one day I'll be able to make my patches look this professional too!
You're officially my newest favorite youtuber!! 😍🤗
ok?
Jan 2021 and now Mine😅
I just started and definitely need to work on my lines but you’ve helped me find a new hobby so I want to thank you so much ❤🎉
Although it hurts my eyes whenever it is sped up like that, I really like your patch and your editing skills. BRAVOOOOO
Almost spent 60 dollars on like 5 patches on Etsy. Gotta support small business for sure.. but I work a minimum wage job and am also a small business so I need to do what’s called a “mom” and tell myself that we have patches at home!😂❤ they are really cool though. Definitely worth the money, I just can’t afford it rn and already have a ton of thread and stuff.
good presentation, but ease up on the music volume and go slow on key points of the tutorial. Pretty good, otherwise. Thanks
How about pausing it..
You can slow down the video settings too! :)
@@bennyruiz8425 That does help, but it also tends to make audio garbled. I don't think OP was trying to be rude, tbh, they just had no tact. Sorry xD
Finaly someone who explains thoroughly how to do this process good show.
I don't know how I got here, but I already respect you!
I’m so glad I’ve found a Chanel that has so many different diy ideas thanks heaps bro
You are editing your videos sooooo goooood
Awesome, a dude that sews, as yet another example for my boys to see that guys can sew and craft what they want!
This looks so professional! You definitely deserve more subs than any other diy channel ive seen
Thanks so much!
I saw this yearrrs ago, and couldn't do this because I was like 12. Now I'm 17, and I finally got myself embroidery string and hoops. This is my little hobby now!
That edging though, damn. I can never get my stitches that neat.
Thank you!!! I love seeing videos without using machines
I subscribed immediately after seeing that intro
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
2 nights ago i couldn't sleep and decided to learn how to sew to decorate a jacket i own. i ran out of patches to crudely sew on day, so naturally i landed here. this is gonna be interesting. guess i'm gonna do some shopping tomorrow. :')
I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW HOW TO DO THIS OML IM GONNA START AN ETSY SHOP
Welp... Just you just got me hooked! Can't wait to see more
Really, a pyramid with the all seeing eye, and pizza of all things...tons of symbolism!
That’s what I’m thinking. And actually, before I realized it was a pyramid, it looked like something else more suggestive. I’m a bit concerned.
@@littlelamb711 Right!
Out of all the things to stitch he picks pizza gate 🤨
@@yurgenization Right! smh
Y'all let the guy make a patch of what he wants, it looks pretty epic anyway
If you ever step on my patch, I’ll bring you down, I’ll bring you down 🎶
“In pizza we crust” 😭😭❤️❤️
Hands down one of my favorite diy channels. So good! And great ideas
Finally a good tutorial! You deserve more subs!
I love the detail you put in
best intro on UA-cam :) love it! absolutely
«Кайфарики. Просто супер дупер» ЧЕЛ, ТЫ ЛУЧШИЙ YOU ARE SO COOL!!!😍
Doing your satin stitch like that wastes so much thread! Just come back up right next to where you ended on the top side. It's much more efficient and clean that way.
true... but I kinda like how thick it makes the patch and how it looks from behind?... I do always have to buy more thread though.. haha
olivia it's the art of embroidery 😅
It's awesome you write down what you say because I speak spanish and sometimes I don't understand the technical words. Love your work
You deserve wayyyyyyyyy more subscribers. You got talent and good editing skills. Keep it up!!!
This is going to be so helpful for making custom band patches for my battle jacket. So many bands I like don't have patches available.
Putting your phone light underneath is clever but it might be worth the hassle for you to invest in a special pen that disappears with air and/or water that you can find in the sewing section. Nice work though! Good tutorial!
Or a pencil. Stay on your lines and you will never see it
Best video I've seen so far. Thanks for the diy!
Is this song a remix of Sylvan Esso "Hey Mami?" What a dank video! I never thought to make my own patches! Ive been looking for months for a patch of the "I really wish I wasnt here right now" button that sqidward wears in a spongebob episode. now I know how to make it my danm self! Anyways, i love this video!! xoxo
Good ears!:) I love her so much. have you heard her tiny desk concert that npr did?
Yesss I’m so glad I’ve found this video, I looked through so many that were just painting patches or showing how to sew them onto things but this is exactly what I was looking for!
I love it 😍
great video . intense amount of time and patience for a patch the size of your fist. definitely going to try this !!
You're really good
Like you make it look so easy
haha thanks. its pretty intense sometimes
Thx for the good explication , finally i can maje my SS patches
maybe sometimes when you're showing through fast forwarding, try slowing it town to a trackable extent. I found it hard to process what you were doing
Yah i've been hearing that.. did the other patch video help out at all?
purple mongoose. yeah same here
thikky longbottom it hurt my eyes but they’re already strained quite a bit today.
This is really cool. I didn't no patches could be made by hand like this. I'm always kinda taken when I see a guy doing crafts. Last time I saw a guy doing a craft he was knitting in the cafeteria my freshman year of college 2010
what's the name of the stitches used? I'm new to embroidery and I'm confused with all stitches names and techniques out there ... video too fast couldn't see very well what was going on because I know if I'm going to try it out it well look streaky as hell
blackcat138 the yellow and red stitching is a satin stitch and the black lines are a back stitch
ah thank you! you're an angel!
Thanks for getting my back DJ Skye:)
I'll work on slowin down the tricky spots
Shmoxd no problem ☺
The best embroidered patch tutorial in the history of youtube
i know this video is on the old side but it's super neat! so professional looking i love it. I'm just a little confused with the outline at the end, is each stitch coming through the back and then looping around back to the back again for the next stitch? or through the back and then the front close to the edge to complete the stitch? couldnt quite get it from the video but everything else is super great x
sorry for the confusion... Let's see if i can break it down.. So you com up from the back so that the knot is hidden. Then instead of looping the thread around and making your loops by coming up through the back every time.. you go down through the front.. and make your loops around the cloth by going down through the front every time.. this way the front will look better than the back cause you're not pulling stuff from the back to the front of the patch.... ...
Oooo.. looking at what i just typed... I hope it helps and doesn't make things more confusing.
definitely! thank you so much man, was mostly confused because of the first stitch, but this cleared that up. looking forward to making some patches!
@@Shmoxd Hey, sorry to bother you again when this discussion is pretty much closed, but I had a question. Hold on, let me rewind the video and find it..
Edit: Oh yeah! It was the lines on the patch, how do those work? I'm having a little trouble understanding. Can you explain it?? Sorry and thanks 😂
In pizza we crust... that is hands down the best thing I’ve ever seen.
Yesss finally a professional boyy 😍
I dunno about professional... hah
Man, I find it so cool you know how to embroider, wish I was that talented
you're so fucking cool and the intro is amazing plus the patch looks amazing (but thats too much work and im lazy so im here just watching ur vid)
hahah for reals... every time I start a project I forget how long it takes.. and I end up taking 100 netflix breaks..
I’m pretty sure this is the video that inspired me to start with embroidery. It’s so fun that you!!!
I have no intention of making a patch but you made it look rlly good dude
Thanks:):) andd... if you ever do make one.. you'll have to tell me how it goes
Thanks. I am enlightened about patch making an hungry at the same time :D What a combo
Finding how easy patches are made had turned me into a patch make addict. I want to buy all materials right now so badly!!
Great video! I really appreciate that you bothered to put the whole tutorial into the description of the video as well.
How many metalheads and punks are watching this to make patches for their battle jackets?
No entiendo a esas 1300 personas q le ponen dedito abajo. Esta super bien explicado y el resultado es perfecto. 😍
song : sylvan esso -hi mami (big wild remix)
wow you are really good at this
i love the editing in this video! and its very informative too!! one thing i would say is maybe slow down the time lapses a little and cut them maybe? just because they go a little too fast (for me at least) to see whats happening
also i really love that this is a "real" tutorial? like this is a real skill, its not just "hi im jess and heres how to make a diy 2 things mixed together!" its like a real thing and you make it sound really easy
Thanks so much:) and yah I need to do that... have you seen some of my other embroidery videos? I got something to hold the hoops so that on the fast parts it's not so shakey
Awesome that you embroider your own patches👍 even more so that your inspiring other guys to get into fiber arts👏👏
Never realized how easy this would be (albeit tedious), however I find it strange you go through all that trouble to sew a new patch just to iron it on.
Darkavatar easier to sew separately then stick it on, otherwise you have to flip it inside out and back every time, with all the excess material of the top in the way.
@@Panic_Pickle I'm inexperienced, but you mean the piece of clothing that you'd be sewing it onto would have to get flipped around every stitch so you could access the needle?
And if I'm right, what about the pinch method, where you pinch the fabric and the needle goes in one side and out the other, but when you straighten it out, the thread is on the underside as well. It's basically just a simple running stitch that they taught the kids who were having trouble, in a sewing class a long time ago. Would a running stitch be good enough to hold on a patch?
BRO! This is actually a madness! Well done!
About how long did it take you to finish this smaller patch? I'm looking to make a set of solar system patches and need to know about how much time I'm about to sink into it lol
It took me pretty long... probably like 8 hrs? or longer? but I could just be really slow.
Shmoxd Thats not slow, I made a cactus patch that had words on it and it took me around 30 hours, it was a more complicated design though
I have made a few... I feel like it takes about 2 hours depending on the design?
Why not just get it made professionally. Less hassle and time saving? Probly won’t spend as much money on material either
ALL STAR PRINT LAB because some people enjoy the process of embroidery too.
The song made this video 10 times better to watch. Thank you so much
FINALLY!! I FOUND IT! AND ITS NOT CLICKBAIT
Love that the instructions are in the description 👍👍
