Embroidered Patches
Embroidered Patches
Embroidered patches are the classic patch style most people recognize — bold stitching, raised texture, and a traditional look that stands out on caps, jackets, and bags. They’re durable, timeless, and perfect for logos that don’t require tiny detail or thin lines.
What makes embroidered patches different from woven patches?
Embroidered patches use thicker thread to build your artwork, which gives them:
- a raised, textured look
- bold lines and shapes
- a traditional, classic feel
Woven patches use finer threads for detail. Embroidered patches use thicker threads for texture and depth. If you want a patch that looks embroidered, this is the one.
What kind of artwork works best for embroidered patches?
Embroidered patches shine with:
- bold shapes
- simple icons
- medium‑to‑large text
- classic or vintage‑style logos
- designs that benefit from texture
If your logo has tiny text or thin lines, woven or sublimated patches may be a better fit.
Do embroidered patches have borders?
Yes. Embroidered patches can be finished with:
- merrowed borders — the classic thick edge
- satin‑stitch borders — a clean stitched edge for custom shapes
The right border depends on the shape and the look you want.
What backings are available for embroidered patches?
Embroidered patches can be finished with:
- heat‑seal backing
- sew‑on backing
- adhesive backing (temporary use)
Full details are on the Patch Backings page in this FAQ section.
Do embroidered patches work well on caps?
Yes — embroidered patches are one of the most popular options for caps. The raised stitching gives the patch a bold, structured look that stands out on structured and mid‑profile hats.
