I pop my head into Textiles and ask about how you put some patches onto a backpack. Then @RFisher and @ddunlap said we can do that right now. Thank you for helping me iron some patches onto my backpack, they look great! [20230709_155959]

Your timing was perfect, glad it worked out!

I was in the hall as you were leaving Textiles. I have to say y’all made his day, if not his week or month and possibly the best day this year, judging by how happy he was.

It was nice meeting you. Glad we could help. It was fun!

How do you make a patch? Is that just embroidery with the hoop and everything? ▶ ···

You can make patches with an embroidery machine for sure. I was thinking about using mine to make them for my band. ▶ ···

I didn’t make them, the backs of the KC Irish Fest and the Arduino ones already had glue on the backs of them. We just had to iron them on. We had to add a glue paper thing to the Star Wars Bad Batch Tech patch helmet.

If anyone wants any heat n’ bond for doing that kind of work, I have bunches of smaller pieces that would work well for patches. I buy it by the ream to make bookcloth, but always end up with 3-6” strips left over.

Oh I know, you have some cool patches. I was thinking about custom patches and applique for stuff I make the grandkids ▶ ···
