An 8" patch is somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 some odd square inches... could be up to 50,000 stitches if totally covered. $19.50- $22.00 for a patch that big, embroidered...is nothing to sneeze at and actually sounds like a good deal-depends also on the quantity. But..Stadri will sell DIRECT to the end user at that price-they don't discount for anyone! So that price is what your customer will find if they go internet shopping... I lose a lot of business to them from scout groups-since Stadri advertises in all the youth group magazines.
