Sew-On Application Instructions
To securely attach your patch to the garment, we recommend using one of the following stitch types
Runstitch
- Use a simple, straight stitch along the edges of the patch.
- Ideal for a clean, basic attachment.
Zigzag Stitch
- Use a zigzag stitch along the perimeter of the patch for extra durability and to prevent fraying.
- This stitch provides a bit of flexibility and a stronger hold.
Satin Stitch
- A dense zigzag stitch that covers the edge completely, giving a smooth, polished finish.
- Ideal for decorative patches or when a more refined look is desired.
Thread Selection
For the best results, we recommend using Isacord thread due to its durability and smooth finish.
