Appliqué Patches

Custom Appliqué Patches Built From Layered Fabric

Appliqué patches are built by cutting shapes from fabric, such as felt or twill, layering them on a base, and stitching them in place. Large areas of the design are covered by fabric instead of solid stitching.

The layered fabric gives the patch a textured, dimensional look that suits bold letters, numbers, and larger designs. Share your artwork and we will review it with you, help choose fabrics, colors, size, and backing, and send a proof before production.
