Hi Peter.  I do a lot of patches.  I use the applique method.  

First, hoop the fabric and stabilizer you are going to use for the patches.  I 
usually use a BIG hoop and get as many into it as I can.  Do an outline stitch 
on this in the shape of the patch.  

Remove.  Cut along the stitching.

Hoop a layer of really good stabilizer.  For this I use a hoop size that holds 
one patch only.

Do an outline stitch of the shape of the patch.

Remove hoop.  

Sticky spray the stabilizer in the hoop.

Press on a cut-out of fabric/stabilizer.

Press button and let the patch be made!

In digitizing the design, I make certain it does the outline and border first.  
For the satin stitch on the border, I go into the properties menu and change 
the understitching to a density of 25.  It eliminates the curling on the edges.

HTH,
Judy
