You should be able to run up to 11,000 or 12,000 if the design is good...our 
average setting on most flat textiles (not hats) is 12,000.
The only patches I do in-house are short runs for Boy Scouts because I can get 
the blanks from them and normally it's Patrol Mascots-so maybe 10-15 at a time. 
Anything else, 50 or more-I send to EMT company and let them do it for a 
fraction of the price of doing it yourself. (your TIME is your MONEY-you should 
be charging enough to have a gross of $40-$50 PER HOUR). So two patches an 
hour-they should be selling for $20 each...
IF you have an order of 50 or more...do the design and test it in-house-then 
send it out to a commercial 'patch maker' and let them handle it...you will be 
pleasantly surprised at how easy it is-and now you have all your time back to 
do other orders. 2 patches per hour, 50 patch order...that's 25 hours, 3 full 
days-to sew out.
Proof it in-house, email the design (from Designshop in the format they use) to 
a patch house-about an hours' work...2-3 weeks (or sometimes less) and you get 
a package in the mail...done.
