Patches…

Today was patches! I started out with purchased designs including a couple from Urban Threads (urbanthreads.com). Urban Threads has great designs! Check them out.

I added background fill to the designs because the felt I was using as a background wasn’t in very good shape. Fill makes the patches sturdier, but I didn’t want them too stiff, so I lengthened the stitches and stitch separation. I tried stitching in different configurations, and the machine ran through 4 pre-wound bobbins!

Patches are a great way to highlight your interests. If you’re interested in custom patches, contact me. We can have some fun designing something uniquely yours.
