Follow up: after watching your video, I had to sew three emblems on three shirts- so that was nine emblems. Your instructions helped a lot, especially with the tips on placement. Also, using matching thread and sewing directly on the colored border was perfect, instead of going inside the border. Thank you again.
I graduated 30 years ago from Tarrant County College's PTA program. We didn't have patches to wear on scrubs back then! I came across your video because now I need to sew arm patches on scrubs for my son. I hope it'll be as easy as you make it look!
EXCELLENT video. You covered everything! Never thought to fold patch for the center marks; nor did I know about using double sided interfacing to secure the patch before sewing. Thank you for sharing!
When sewing with a sewing machine, you use the sewing machine's backstitch to lock the stitch. If you are sewing it on with a hand needle and thread, yes, you will have to tie a knot in the thread tail on the backside.
Nice sewing machine and video. But is there any way to sew a patch on the elbow of a jacket or some coveralls? Does that have to be done by hand or is there some trick (like turning the foot 90 deg) to allow the longitudinal sewing needed on the patch?
Hello ! I need this exact same patch on mine. I have a sewing machine but I dont know how to use it that well. Do you have teal thread in the bottom one too? Thank you!
Thank you for this video. It's very helpful. Would you have a tip on how to sew a patch on a pocket e.g. patch on a Scout uniform shirt front pocket so the pocket isn't stitched shut?
Small pockets are not easy. You just have to maneuver the backside out of the way the best you can. A sewing machine with a small bed area/free-arm is helpful. I'd honestly probably either hand sew or use patch adhesive.
@@LetsLearnToSew Okay, thank you! After a bit of research I'm going to try a curved needled and maybe even make a short angled needle. Thanks for inspiring the thinking on this!
I wash my scrubs weekly and the patch is holding up fine. I'm about to graduate. I may have to do a follow-up video to show just how well it did hold up.
