A local biker group has approached me about making their patches: large round 
patch w/rockers (or ribbons) top & bottom.  They don't want me to use premade 
patches--want them made locally. (I would normally use Penn emblem. Same people 
have been making their patches for YEARS, still using old chain stitch machine 
to fill in letters. Patches look old-fashioned, stretch because they have no 
backing.) Also, their colors will be unusual.  Will probably use a heavy twill 
fabric for the back.  

I know the basic procedure of making patches.  But--
1)What backing should I use to make the patch?
2)After I cut it out, what material do I use to put the satin edge around it? 
When I've done small patches before, it tends to 'cut out' the patches as it 
sews & they may not sew correctly because of this. 
3)I need to seal the back after it's finished, but I don't want the heat n bond 
w/ the stick on adhesive left on the back. All the patches will be sewn on.  
What do I use instead?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!  Dianne
