Welcome!
I've been making patches since 2017. It began with an idea that I could have my mother make the correct Cobra sigils for the Finest (a GI Joe costume club I am in) and when my mother gave me her Brother SE-400 embroidery machine (I have since paid her for it) because she didn't use it, I have produced quite a few different patches to folks in and out of the Finest.
​
In 2018, several members of the Finest chipped in for a Singer Futura that has a 6.25" x 10.25" hoop, so I can make patches of large Cobra sigils on the chests of our troopers and officers.
​
In 2021, a good friend of mine gave me a Brother PE-770 since he didn't use it. This one gave me the option to do 5"x7" patches...a size in between my Singer and other Brother.
I specialize in one offs, but will do small runs of 10 or less, depending on the size and design. Designs must be no larger than a 4x4 hoop for batch orders. I cannot do very detailed embroidery (a lot of lines) since I only have machines made for home use and limited design software. I do enjoy designing patches and have done quite a few from scratch. Expect upfront fees for designing patches. Most patches are done on my 4" x 4" hoop. Default backing is sew on, but iron on backing is a free option. I DO NOT do hook and loop (Velcro) backing.
I absolutely will not make official military patches, even if they do not make them anymore. I will also not make most costume club patches, including 501st/Rebel Legion and Ghostbuster groups. I will, however, do some patches for reenactment costumes.
I do have a full time job and a family. This is a hobby and I do it in my spare time. I feel my prices are fair for one offs and small batches. Most money made goes towards machine maintenance and supplies, but also to charities. I can change sizes, colors, and background color upon request. I use canvas twill for the fabric, unless specified in the description. I can also resize to smaller or bigger if requested (depending on the design).
​
I am no professional and I prefer making patches rather than direct embroidery. I specialize in making costume patches that do not exist or are hard to find. If I can find a patch you are requesting cheaper elsewhere, I will direct you to that maker/seller. I am not here to make a profit and would rather support other small businesses.

The best way to order is to message me through my Facebook page or e-mail. Links in the corner.
