Have you had an issue with the adhesive leaking out if it gets too warm? I used that adhesive backed velcro in the past and it starting oozing out the side after a couple months. I was wondering if you've seen the same thing or if maybe the threads catch it?
Great tutorial and had me try my hand at making patches on my Brother V3. The issue I had when doing this, is the adhesive on the back of the Velcro caused my needle to "gum up" and keep hold of the thread, so I had to keep restarting, which made a mess of the sewing. I have since bought Velcro without the adhesive and use 505 to stick it to the back of the patch before "sewing". Did you have similar issues?
Wipe some Sewers Aid on your needle and even put a bead of it down the side of your top thread spool before stitching. This will greatly help that needle gum up and it won't hurt your thread and should be just fine for your fabric as it is used for ease of sewing on fabric.
I get bird's nests on the back on my velcro using this method. What do I need to change? How close to the velcro edge do you put the last stitch run? Thank you so much!
Not sure why you are getting a bird's nest on the velcro. Sorry I can't be more helpful. I'll play around and see if I can figure it out. I put my final stitch as close to the edge as I could.
Hi. I have so many questions. I'm brand new at machine embroidery. I just got a Pe770 used on ebay and it didn't even come with an owners manual so I'm flying blind. My daughter is mildly Autistic and we're trying to find work she can do at home. How did you begin? How do you find people who need custom patches or decals? Is it a really slow process of building clientele or were there things you did to improve your business? She loves sewing and really wants to try this but I admit I'm out of my depth. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi! We started by posting on Etsy and eBay. We also have connections with the local police department so that helped also. Word of mouth has been great for us and is the best advertising.
This was a great video! Thank you. Do you have a Ricoma? If so, what speed did you stitch these at? Did you do anything “special” to keep your needles from gumming up due to the adhesive on the back of the Velcro? Thanks again.
Yes it is a Ricoma. I run it at about 700-800 for these. I did not need to put anything on my needles, but I did wipe them down with adhesive remover after each batch of patches.
I wish you listed prices on your website, I'd have loved to have supported your business! I know it can be hard, but a ballpark figure is useful, especially in a day and age where I can get exact prices and pay online in one hit on most websites. It might be time to update your site. You can do it yourself, it's very, very easy!

Ok...I’m new to embroidery so this is going to be a stupid question if anyone can answer. When it comes to the Velcro, Are you only stitching down one piece of the velcro and after you cut out the patch, are you attaching the 2nd piece of the Velcro? The client then would sew the unembroidered 2nd piece on their own garment? I want to make sure I’m following your video correctly. Thanks for the demonstration.
Yes that's correct. Some police uniforms already have a place with Velcro which was the case with these. But if not I would add the other side so they can use it if they dont already have the Velcro.
Смотрела предыдущий ролик по вышивке, ну так обидно, показали такую не аккуратную работу, стежки неровные, гладь получается не красивая, и они себя рекламируют, ужас. Вот всё ровно и красиво, делает машина, а люди тупее машины что-ли? Руками на машинке тоже можно сделать не хуже, надо только постараться. А вы ребята молодцы, Удачи!!!)))
