I buy my twill from a company just north of here that makes patches and
chenille patchs. Its a heavy twill that is backes so its fairly heavy
material. I then hoop it according to the size of patch or if I am doing
multiples I setup as many as I can fit on a large hoop and sew them at once.
I sew a walk stitch around it in the shape I want the patch to be. When I
am done I send them to Salem Emblem and pay them $0.50 - 0.75 each to merrow
them. Sometimes if I am in a hurry I take them to my friend here in town
with a surger and she finishes them for me.
Any patches over qty of 50 I send to www.patchsupply.com . They are much
cheaper this way and any orders over 50 there are no setup fees. I just had
some done that were 6" round with about 25k stitches for around $5 each.
