Make Your Own Custom Embroidery Patches
Embroidery patches are an artistic way to share a piece of yourself with the world. Merging our decades of experience with today’s modern technology, scroll down to see our new patch-making methods that’ll allow you to easily create custom patches and get the best results possible
Easily attached to a cap, backpack, or jacket, custom embroidery patches are a creative way to showcase your interests while also humbly highlighting your embroidery talents. Since 1958 our family has created over 10 million patches for companies like Disney, the Boy Scouts, the NBA, and more.
How to Make Custom Embroidery Patches
Clean, crisp merrowed™ edges are the trademark of professional-looking embroidery patches. Traditionally, these edges are created using a specialized patch machine which most embroiderers don’t own.
So, to ensure you get the best results possible using only your embroidery machine, John Deer created some specially digitized embroidery design files that replicate the beautiful classic edges patches are famous for.
These expertly digitized embroidery designs allow you to insert your designs or lettering into the patch outlines, and at the press of a button, easily create custom patches with any materials of your choice!
Ready-Made Embroidery Patches
Our “Ready-Made Patches” are designed to save you time & give you the most professional results possible. These Patches are completely ready to be embroidered. Manufactured with commercial specifications including true Merrowed™ Borders, these are the real deal.
Simply insert your logo/lettering within our “perfect placement” embroidery files, hoop the patch (we’ll show you how with bite-sized video tutorials), and hit the start button.
Having a finished patch with a merrow border already completed instantly increases your profits and saves you a minimum of 3000 stitches of production time.
Although you can use a number of different materials and stabilizers to create your own patches, we know from experience which products will help produce the best-embroidered results. With our patch supplies, you can use the best materials possible to create unique professional-looking patches from scratch in a variety of personalized colors:
- Patch-backed poly Twill with Buckram to promote clean edges and reduce fraying
- Prep Patch Film to ensure the designs you choose to embroiderer on your patches will pop
- And Post-Patch Iron-On to seal and produce professional results on the unfished side of your patch
