My daughter is currently in the USA attending the Michigan International Camporee for scouts.
I embroidered badges for her to take as to buy them was quite expensive. Has anyone else?

mrsw, WELCOME to the 'CUTE' family - I haven't done anything with scouts for so many years - I hate to think about it - but had a had a embroidery machine way back then - I would have loved knowing how to do this - Hehehe!
211079I athink that was a gr8 idea. I'm up to GGrand children now but none old enough $ scouts, this I'll have to remember. thanks 4 sharing *4U
145791No I haven't done this. If only I had a machine way back when my Son, Daughter & foster Children went on camps with the cubs,scouts & Girl Guides, it would have saved a lot on money & they could have swaped badges that were not mass produced. Did u take any photoes for us to see? *4u

Sorry, I didn't even think of that. I 1st made badges for my son to take to our state cuboree. I fitted 2 to by 4X4 hoop. They were a little small. For my daughter, I made each badge fit the 4X4 hoop. I found free designs on the internet and then used PEdesign to add the name of the scout troop and a border. I'm still experimenting with the overall badge. My son complained that my badges weren't iron-on. I discovered an iron-on patch material by the metre which I floated in reverse under the hoop after the main badge was stitched. Then I stitched the border. That seems to work. I'd like to hear how anyone else has made badges though.

I iron the material (like steam-a-seam, but by the metre) on after I finish, remove the paper backing and iron on a second layer, just to be sure they stay in place. Iron them on the garment and press them again on the inside. Use them for repairs on knees, etc., or just for fun anywhere.
