Want to Make Embroidered Patches?

Embroidered patches are perfect for jackets, bags, hats and team gear, and making your own is one of the most satisfying ways to learn digitizing. This short video shows how a patch comes together in Hatch Embroidery.

What goes into a patch?

A patch is really two designs in one:

• The artwork on top, whether that's a logo, a name or an illustration
• The patch base, with its shape, fill and finishing border

Digitizing both parts gives you hands-on practice with fills, outlines and borders, skills you'll use in almost every project.
