Hi, from Michigan, USA!! I appreciate your videos so much. You explain everything so well and are not a gatekeeper, which is so awesome! My question is what type of felt do you use on your patches when you're not using these methods? I like stiffened felt, however, I haven't found it in yardage. Only sheets and that's kind of costly. Do I need to use stiff felt or can I use regular felt that is just a little thicker?
Hello! Thank you for your comment you're very kind :) I just use regular, polyester craft felt. I'm always swapping suppliers and usually have to purchase it in rolls of 50 meters to keep the cost down, but found ebay to be the cheapest supplier when not purchasing in bulk. Personally, I think the thinner the felt the better as it makes the patches more flexible and easier to iron on. But currently I'm using 2mm thick felt which is thicker than I would like, but it still works.
I'm ao pleased that I stumbled on your video. I really found this informative and it was interesting to see the comparison between the two. I'm wanting to do some patches (not as a business) so I'm keen to see how to do it as I picked up a second hand well loved embroidery machine. I'm curious though in starting to see how it is used tht there are a lot of consumables to making a patch - stabliser, or these films. Is there anyway that you can use the leftovers for other patches etc? It seems like it could otherwise be pricey if doing patches that aren't on a finished item.
It depends on how you make patches. Usually, when make a patch I use felt, stabiliser and then cut it out by hand or with my laser, I would say the method in the video generates less waste than my preferred method. There is always going to be some form of waste unfortunately, and the best way to keep the price down is to buy materials in bulk, whoever I understand this isn't an option for everyone
@@pinkbirdembroidery8281sorry but I can't stand to listen to you murder the English language You know you could at least go on Google and put the word in there and search how to pronounce it That's what smart people would do or even people who aren't smart What can I say It's pronounced thermogaze I have used it before and still have a large role.
@@freedom_is_never_free1776 the product I am using in the video is Madeira Threads Termogarza. What you are referring to is a different brand. A quick google search would have cleared this up for you.
I have bought Madeira Super Film, and it is just like the B film. I think it maybe a little cheaper. I don’t know if you have tried this also? Thank you for a useful video. Regards
I have not tried this but looking at the description of the product it does sound very similar. Glad you like the video good luck with the Super Film! :D

Great video. I’m new to embroidery and liked that your also from the U.K. I hadn’t heard of the Happy Japan company before.
I'm really lucky to have the Happy Japan machines, before I was buying Brother multineedles and the difference is night and day

hello mam ..i hv a request can you make a anime design on sweatshirt or jacket ..😓😓???
The water soluble Vilene is easier to remove.
What do you use as far as adhesive for your patches?
Hi I use Heat n Bond :)
What kind of plastic stabilizer?
It’s water soluble topper I get from Somac threads
Maybe you could have taken a lighter to the edges of the fabric one.
That’s a good idea, I didn’t think to try that
Too messy
