Hello and thanks for video. Shortly after you added the 505 temp adhesive you had another piece of material and said "shiny side down" but you did not say what that medium with the shiny side was. I think it's the glue but it's not clear what you were talking about other than the shiny side touches the thread. Thank you.
Is there any trick to make the patch look naturally part of a hat? People tell me my patches look like they’re sticking up too much from the cap, but I love patches because you can make them larger than the 2.5 inches or so embroidery machines will embroider on a cap. Thanks!
Thank you for this great video , we are new in the Embroidery badges making so plenty to learn....Could you please let me know which type of twill are you using ,which is the most convenient for the job ? And the outer black thread ..which is it ? it is great , safety cut ! Many thanks
@mistyBlue7 you can put the pillow either inside or on the bottom of the shirt. Inside the shirt you’ll have more control of the placement. And the buttons can be on the pillow.
How do you set up the art in the Ricoma machine. I mean if I digitize 1 logo and I need todo 10 patches of the same logo, how do I set up the file on the machine? Thanks!
Great job 👏. This is the first time I learned how to smoothen the edges of patches. thanks for sharing the video. Please, what is the tool you used to measure the exact point to place the patch on the shirts called and where did you buy it from?

Let's say you want to sell patches, your customers can iron them on. Usually, you would stitch them out directly, but patches are something quick and easy that are always requested.
@@RomeroThreads that's so far away from me, I have been looking for something like this to be making my patches, did you know what it is called in Nigeria, I'm from Nigeria
@@RomeroThreads Gotcha! Looking to give patches a try. Mr. Romero I want to make the same kind of patches but I want a adhesive back, where you peel back the paper and stick it on what ever your going to stick it on (not heat press or hot press). What do you suggest for that? Is it a heat press on one side and a stick and press (removable) on the other?
Hello, all links are in the description also. Let me know if there's anything I left out. HEAT PRESS ADHESIVE: P600 5-Mil 49.5″ Permanent twillusa.com/product/adhesive-by-the-yard/ TACKLE TWILL - 51″ UNCOATED SPORTS TWILL twillusa.com/product/uncoated-sports-twill/
@romeraHi, I have a curious question. Obviously this was to show us how to make patches, but, would you do this for all these jobs when, To me, it seems like I would just embroidery them directly to the shirt. Is this so you can line up the patches on the garment easier? or why did you do it if I may ask. reason I also ask is, im learning, and if I want to do multiple of the same product, I am worried that the logo might not show up in the same spot each time. In this patch case, you could just put the patch where it goes, per your instruction trifold, and then each shirt after do the same so they all match identically. I will lastly add that I may not be pressing a button on my TC1501 that "centers" or "set base point" as I would call it on my sticker printing machines. Thank you for the video, hope to hear back.
Thank you. Here''s the link to the placement tool, thanks. allstitch.com/collections/placement-alignment-tools/products/embroiders-helper-placement-tool-dime
Thank you for the question. On the white thread, I used a 40 weight thread w/ a 70 size needle, and the black text I used a 60 weight thread and 65 size needle. Good question, I should've mentioned it.
@@aceboogie959 Ex biz owner here. There are hundreds of companies on the Web, thousand of articles and downloadable sheets from sewing and embroidery companies. Web search big time with just succinct questions. You will do fine, cheers.
Love the video. Would you say the EM1010 still do the same just lower needles? I would use my glowforge to cut them out. Use what you have of course, that’s just what I have lol.
Thanks so much for this! To press the patch, was there a part to peel from the adhesive on back or is it ready to press as-is once you adhered the other side to the twill? Thank you.
My pressure was pretty high on the heat press. It was flatten and stiff in that area, a day later the shirt was back normal. You can rub a damp sponge if the creases stay.
Why are the patches sewn separately and then glued? Why not embroider on the polo shirt itself? I’m new, so it may be a dumb question. I’m just trying to do my research before I purchase the embroidery machine. Thank you for your patience with me❣️
I liked this great video. The only thing is that those two sections this gentleman shows how to use the hot knife and the flame were either too fast, or out of the visual field so they could not be seen very well. 5/5 stars!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Question, What kind of adhesive is used? I clicked link but seems there are many options on there, can you tell me exactly the one used for iron patches? Thanks!
Not sure if this question has been asked. I am curious to know why not just embroider the design directly onto the shirt? Also is there a way I can cut out the patches with a cricut machine instead of cutting by hand?
Hello, great question, You can embroider directly on a shirt, but sometimes a customer wants to order patches and place the patches on their own different garments. You can use a Cricut and make the patches as an applique, but I dont think you can do the final cut with a cutter. You'll have to use something like a laser for the final patch cut.
when you heat pressed the patches with the adhesive, does it also act as an anti-snag for the facing of the patch? (since the faces of the patches are getting some heat, i wonder if it melts the poly threads into place).
by watching this video I am going to give up patch making , according to Mr. Romero , it takes 4-5 hrs to make 15 pieces. In order to see any profit I have to sell these for appx $26.00 each. I cant find such market, I have seen some complicated patches for around $3.00 to 5.00. not a good venture.
Good observation. Lets look at the numbers 13,000 stitches ran at 750 stitches per minute multiplied 15 times puts you in the range of 4-5 hours. Successful shops that specialize in patches have multi-head machines so knocking high quantities of the same design is no problem. Somebody with 1 head maybe cant compete with somebody with 6 or 12 heads. Thats when you see dirt cheap prices for patches, the only small details is you have to order large quantities. There of course are ways to minimize thread count and speed up the process to make a profit, thats of course planning and preparation. I cant comment if you can make a profit or not, since I don't know how many heads you have and how good your designs are.
@@RomeroThreads Thank you so much for replying. Very well done. You are absolutely right. I made the comment to get others head working. People get in the business not knowing anything and don't even want to consider that some jobs are for others. Like I said in my comment, if you want me to do it for you it will cost you $x amount since I'm not in compition with others. I know my limitations.there is more than it meets the eye. Yes, some people tell others that they can start a t-shirt business with$300.00 , that doesn't even cover your legal fees. Ok. Thank you again for your response.
2 yrs later I’m just now watching this video new interest of mines and it was a big help thanks.
Great instructor!
Thanks!
Just a note to thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I learned great deal with your video.
Great instructions, not too fast.
Thank you SO much for making this video…it made making patches so easy !

Would love to know the settings on your panel. I can tell my 1501 to do multiple but then it only does ones at a time
Great video how man ounces is the cutaway?
NICE WORK
Great video .... Love my Mighty Hoops!!
Me too!
Thank you for a amazing video. I have people asking all the time , How to make patches. You even showed me a thing or two. Thank you....
Just a quick tip, to prevent the heatpress ghosting that we see, spray it with water and that ghosting box will go away.
Yes, true. If I have to, I use a light damp sponge and it comes right off. Once the shirt cools down the marks go away.
That was my pet peeve seeing that ghost bothered me some
Good advice thanks
Great video, you're camera setup is sweet! Gotta love those mighty hoops, right? Life savers.
Yes, time savers and holds the tension perfect. Thanks for the message!
Awesome video
Can you show how this is done in the software? Newbie here. Great video
Great video idea, I'll make a video on setting up on the software on one of my next patch projects.
@@RomeroThreads Thank you so much. Do you have one for creating cap designs as well? Thanks
? What type of adhesive are you using, the name of it would be great. email please
This video is extremely helpful!! Thank you!
How did you get rid of the heat press mark around the patch?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I learned a lot watching your tutorial.
Good video thanks
Great tutorial thank you
good job
Where did you get the patch placement ruler
I have to look at this again
Thank you
Where did you get the placement board? I like that one
Any video on embroidering an actual patch to a garment not heat press?
Great, great video!
Instantly I saw your big set up and was like…umm your big time?! I wanted to make about 20 for my spiritual group.
Great video!
Thank yòu how did you do all at once..i have an industrial machine
Emb 1 at a time
I set it up on the digitizing software.
Nice Style!
What was the temperature on the heat press, the time, and whst is the object you put under the shirt before pressing it?

Can you make a video how to sew on top a polo shirt please
Is the "Hot Knife" for removing frayed fabric only, can it also remove short threads that you cannot cut with thread trimmers. Thanks, in advance.
Thank you for this great video , we are new in the Embroidery badges making so plenty to learn....Could you please let me know which type of twill are you using ,which is the most convenient for the job ? And the outer black thread ..which is it ? it is great , safety cut ! Many thanks
Good Morning from snowy Colorado Been
Hello!!
Did you use stabilizer on the inside of the shirt? I noticed that square showing through the shirt.
I don’t have a heat press. Can I use patch attach that you iron on? Would that work?
Can I get a list of everything I need ( martial wise) please?
What type of adhesive backing are you using?
Where can we get twill that size?
Great detailed video, thank you. Is it ok to heat press polo shirts with buttons?
Yes, I would use a heat press pillow to lift the garment above the buttons. Thanks for the question.
@@RomeroThreads Do you put the pillow inside the shirt? Does the heat pad touch the buttons ?
@mistyBlue7 you can put the pillow either inside or on the bottom of the shirt. Inside the shirt you’ll have more control of the placement. And the buttons can be on the pillow.
Can I please have the link of where you get that stabilizer pleaseeeee???
Good morning Romero Threads. Please how much can I charge per one patch I have security company patches
when you digitized to stitch out the patches how did you do the spacing between each patch to stitch out in the large hoop
I set up the spacing on the software.
I want to start this type of business❤
Hello 👋 where do you get the official patch vectors. For example military rank and badges?
Where can i purchase the template for this patch? my husband is a marine vet i would love to surprise him with this patch.
Thanks for sharing
Do you have a video on how to digitize multiple patches?
Great video, thank you for the tips. How do you get rid of the heat press marks on the dark shirt before giving to the customer?
Once the shirt cooled down the mark went away. Also, you can rub a damp towel slightly and it’ll cool it quicker.
Thank you! You are the best, love learning from you
what size needle is best used for detailed patch ?
How do you set up the art in the Ricoma machine. I mean if I digitize 1 logo and I need todo 10 patches of the same logo, how do I set up the file on the machine? Thanks!

Hi, comrade . Which type of material with glue you used?
Thanks for you video
what size is the patch?
2.5 inches
Great video thanks , just wondering once you have the badge digitized , how do you multiply it ? Hope that makes sense
I duplicate the design in the software according to my hoop size.
@@RomeroThreads thank you 🙏
What’s the difference between stitching directly to the polo shirt and doing the patches first and than putting them on to the shirt ?
Let's say you want to sell patches, your customers can iron them on. Usually, you would stitch them out directly, but patches are something quick and easy that are always requested.
Can you use twill with adhesive backing or do you have to do twill, backer and then the adhesive backing?
Yes you can. As long as remove the carrier sheet, you’re good to go. If you do so, you don’t have to spray adhesive spray.
Sir the white stuff you heat at the back of your material after making the patches what's it called
Its called Heat press adhesive P600 5mil. Its from TwillUSA and the link is in the description. Thanks for stopping by.

Will do, I'll have everything up tomorrow morning on the description.
@@RomeroThreads Thanks a ton! Found what i was missing and ordered it from your list. Thanks..
hi Romero ... question on the fabric. what do you uncoded twill? Please explain
Can re-type or re-word the question. Thanks.
You never showed what was used to adhere the patch to the polo
Love the video. Would you say the EM1010 still do the same just lower needles? I would use my glowforge to cut them out. Use what you have of course, that’s just what I have lol.
Thanks, I don't have a 1010, but it does have less needles and a smaller sewing field. For patches that is the difference.
Thanks so much for this!
To press the patch, was there a part to peel from the adhesive on back or is it ready to press as-is once you adhered the other side to the twill? Thank you.
Yes, there’s a paper that you peel back.
how do you get rid of all the iron burns on the Polo, better to use a cricut iron, gets hot enough and heats smaller areas.
My pressure was pretty high on the heat press. It was flatten and stiff in that area, a day later the shirt was back normal. You can rub a damp sponge if the creases stay.
Why are the patches sewn separately and then glued? Why not embroider on the polo shirt itself? I’m new, so it may be a dumb question. I’m just trying to do my research before I purchase the embroidery machine. Thank you for your patience with me❣️
You can embroider directly on the polo shirt. Sometimes customers order patches so they can place them on their own personal garments.

what heat setting do you use on the heat press?
Did you use adhesive in the back of the Patch to stick to the Polo Shirt?
Yes.
When you heat pressed that polo it left a mark around the patch, will that go away?
Yes, once it cooled down it goes to normal.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Q: what is the fabric your using the badges can you named please and what’s the white paper calling or named
Thanks. The fabric is tackle twill and the the stabilizer is cut away and the adhesive is adhesive. I posted the links where I buy my stuff.
I can find the link did you mind to send me please
I’d have embroidered straight on to the polo shirt… but great tutorial.
How do you get rid of that big square scortch mark around the patch?
It comes off when it cools down.
What is the difference between coated and uncoated twill?
Coated has glue (adhesive) in the back, uncoated has no glue in the back.
@@RomeroThreads I am going to attempt patches so which one do you think would be best to try out with?
You can use uncoated. inventories are low but you can check this link out twillusa.com/product/uncoated-sports-twill/
Thank you so much for this tutorial but is the adhesive paper double-sided. From the patch to the shirt? Sorry if it sounds like a simple question.
The adhesive is double sided. One side is heat pressed to the patch then the other side is ironed or heat pressed to the shirt.
@@RomeroThreads Thank you so much!
