Double Layer Embroidered Applique
product description
Double Layer Embroidered Applique patches are created by combining two layers of fabric—one on top and one on the bottom—stitched together with precision. This technique results in a textured, multi-dimensional effect, perfect for designs that require added depth or contrast. The patch is then attached directly to the garment using zigzag or satin stitch, creating a clean, professional finish. Ideal for logos, intricate patterns, and decorative embellishments, these patches offer a bold and unique look for any application.
