Yay! My package has arrived!

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been patiently waiting, okay maybe impatiently waiting, for this package to arrive! I ordered Twill fabric, 40wt polyester embroidery thread, heat seal, a glass cutting board and a soldering iron (hot knife).

I ordered all of this because lately, I’ve been very interested in making patches! Although I’ve never actually been able to make them because I didn’t have the supplies.

I have an idea about how I’d like to make them, but no actual instructions to follow. It was actually quite difficult for me to even figure out the supplies that I would need! So, to save all of you from the trouble of doing all of this research (I’ve spent so so long trying to figure out what I’d need, how to make them and the websites to use) I’m going to share my journey of making machine embroidered patches!

I’ll share what I’ve been learning, what’s been working, what hasn’t been working, websites I’ve used and even more to do with this patch-making process!

Here are some pictures of my package:
