I thought I would make these for Dominic for his birthday. This way, he can put them where ever he likes. I used "Heat and Bond" on the backs so that his mom can just iron them on.
9945Nice work. All of your patches came out looking great. Thanks also for sharing where you located some of the designs. *4U

38135I'm back with another question, if you don't mind. Do you put the "Heat and Bond" on after you stitch them? And do you use cut away stablizer? Do you have the free shapes from fivestarfonts.com? I wish I could find some small religious designs, if anyone knows of any, please let me know. Thanks

I put the Heat and Bond on after I have cut the patch out from the stabilizer. I like to use cutaway stabilizer because it gives my patches a bit more "stiffness". I got my applique shapes from My Embroidery Haven yahoo group. She has tons of them in the files for free. She has angels and angels wings. You could put a little flower in them. You won't believe how many there are there!!! You should join. Here are a few religious designs.

5552Hey these are great! I'd just posted a question today about making patches or badges. I need some designs for children at church. Do you know of any like Biblical designs? You did a great job, thanks for posting. Where did you get your designs? *4U

designcrazy, http://www.joydesigns.org/Designs... is a great site for many designs. If you have any applique shape, you can make it into a patch. MY Embroidery Haven's yahoo group has loads for free. I told shirlener88 where I got many of my designs.
5552Great job - where did you get all you wonderful patch designs?

Hi shirlener88. Thank-you. the first design on the left was from http://crafters.margescreations.c... It was placed into a round applique shape. The rampant lion was fromhttp://www.casacci.it/ricami_grat... It was placed in an oval shape. The captain's cap and ladybug I cannot recall at the moment, but the shape for the ladybug was one of our own cutie's:(mops) The dragon was from Odile"s Corner at OPW.http://www.oregonpatchworks.com/i... from the dragon1 collection. The penguin and fox are magnets from Embroidery Library. The baseball smiley is from a collection of free sports smileys. The cowboy was put into an applique shape. And the final smiley may have been from here? You can put any face into a circle applique shape. Sorry that I cannot remember all of the sites where I got the designs. I try to include that information with my designs now, but I didn't do that when I first started to collect.
211079what a good idea, I have been thinking how to do these just yesterday! Thanks & very Nice!

299559Didn't Alleens have a Tact it over and over again. Where you could place the patch on something and remove it and still place it some place else? But I can't find this product any more. The tact it glue is permanent bond now. Or am I thinking of something else.

Thank-you. I thought of using some of that tacky glue with some paperdolls. I haven't done them yet, though. You could make designs of other items that your son might like. He could put them anywhere.
4969Great job - and there is another product that can be used - so that it can be placed and removed 0 it is a product by Alene's cal Tack it Over & OVer - I use this on the back of the embroidered paperdolls I have made.

Thank-you. I had heard of that and was going to use it on the paperdolls clothes, but that's a project for the future.
44904Wonderful job. I was just thinking patches would be a great gift for a B-day party. Say there was a theme and everyone gets their own patch. Thanks for the brainstorm. They are fabulous.
