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.

Fabric Options

ST (Soft Twill):

A smooth, durable fabric with a slightly textured surface, perfect for combining sublimation and embroidery. It holds both printed colors and embroidery thread securely, providing a high-quality, long-lasting result.

SF (Soft Felt)

Mimics the feel of plush mink fabric as it is extremely soft. Recommended for 1.5” x 1.5” size.

ST (Stock Twill):

FL (Flock)

Stands out for its matte appearance and finish with an ultrasoft touch and feel. Recommended for 1.5” x 1.5” size.

“These fabrics provide durability and structure, making the applique long-lasting and visually appealing.”

BACKING OPTIONS

No backing required: The applique is directly stitched onto the garment using either zigzag stitch or satin stitch, eliminating the need for additional backing.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Sew-On Application Instructions

To securely attach your patch to the garment, we recommend using one of the following stitch types:

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.
