We recommend that for small badge orders our customers use the dissolvable backing used for making lace, which is hooped. On top of this backing, use a poplin as an appliqu=E9, and to add stiffness use a couple of layers of cutaway underneath using appliqu=E9 technique also. One the tack down stitch has been made for the appliqu=E9, cut away the excess poplin and cutaway backing, then have the machine do the satin edge stitching. Once finished, wash away the dissolvable backing Hope this helps David Anderson =20 Keband Australasia Pty. Ltd. 96 Meander Rd, Hurstbridge.

Edges are slightly ruffled, not to my liking. Do not have any badgemaster. Anyone have some ideas what to use for 10 little patches?
