Custom patch design is used to add style to a piece of cloth. Many uniforms have it like the fire fighters uniform, the police, and the military and also other clubs. If you want one of these for your own you can either get them through the internet by buying them online or you can just make one yourself. Before making an order on which one to go for you have to choose the size, style, color and shape that will please you. After placing the order you will have to wait for some days for your goods to be shipped to you. Making one yourself will definitely help you to save money. You only need to follow certain steps to make your own piece.

Choosing designs may be difficult but you need to know the designing beforehand. If you are finding it hard to come up with a design then you can look at some of them online you will find quite a number that you can choose from.

You can also use your iron to make the piece to be able to stick on the piece of cloth you want to put it into.

Next you need to place borders for the piece to look smarter. Bordering can be done in two main ways; through the merrowed method which involve rounding the piece. The die cut will require you to cut out the piece from where it is.
