I've done runs of a couple dozen for local scout units-small enough quantities
that none of the patch companies will touch it. I buy the blank patches like
Randi, set up the 'inline' walk normal stitch at 45 stitch size to the outside
diameter, duplicate it and scale it to fit 'inside' the merrow edge.
Then the whole design in order.
Difference is..I set this up in the largest hoop I have-the double wood ones.
Hoop up 1 piece of backing, and in Amaya OS I open it up, and move the image
all the way to the top left corner. I think I did figure out the appique
command otherwise I just sit and manually pause it after the first outline-set
the patch inside that line-either double back tape under it or pieces of
masking tape over it...then sew the 'inside' line (make this the same color
thread as the patch material) and pause-peel off the tape-then let it sew the
entire design. Back to amaya-move the design over, and start again. I do NOT
pull the patches off until I've filled the whole hoop-depending on size of
patch I can get 12-15 per hoop. Once done-then I pull the patches off.
Otherwise you can tear your backing and no more patches can be done on that
hoop.
Anymore than 50 I let the patch company do it...I can't compete on price with
buying it in bulk that way...with a full markup and no time involved except for
the 'prototype'-it's all profit.
