I find its harder to use pre-made patches cause you have to attach them to 
backing and get them lined up just right to sew them.

For all orders of 50 or more I sent the to www.patchsupply.com 
(http://www.patchsupply.com) and have them done overseas.  They take 4-6 weeks 
but you can pay extra for rush in 2-4 weeks and the quality is great and the 
prices excellent.  I do a 5" patch with 16k stitches through them for around 
$2.50 each at 100 qty.  You can send them any digitized file or artwork and get 
a quote and digitizing on 50 or more is free up to a certain size.

If I am doing small numbers then I get patch material and just sew the patches 
directly on to the material using the largest hoop thats appropriate and put as 
many in one hooping as possible.  I do a walk stitch in the shape I want the 
border and make sure to space them around 1/4" apart to make space to merrow 
them.  I then send the material up to Andrew at Salem Emblem Shop and have them 
merrow them for around $.50-.75 each and it cost me around $10 shipping both 
ways.  If I am just doing 1-5 I have a friend locally that has a serger serge 
the edge which is similar to merrowing but not quite as nice but more cost 
effective on small orders.
