I have a board meeting with our local Vets to do embroidery work for them.....these will be patches that I will take with me as a sample.......I need to cut them out and iron on a iron on backing, then they will be ready....<br /><br />
first I have to hit the edges with fray check...........
2nd pic is of them cut out....I chose to use fabric under all the stitches to make the patch more sturdy.....

Wonderful design. Perhaps a duck type canvas would work with heat bond on the back before you hoop. I supposed you could get a number in one hooping. Don't underestimate yourself and sell these for $5 a patch. I am anxious to hear the results. Keep us informed. Kay

Nice work! I like how the letters are so nice and crisp!
How do you use Fray Check on the edges without getting discoloration of the thread?

I made sure that it covered all the gold satin stitches and it darken it just a teeny hair, but by covering the whole stitch there is no variance in color......
Ah! Good idea to do that. I'll have to try doing that. Thanks.

He he, I totally misunderstood when I read Vets, thought you meant vet. surgeons and could not understand the skull. The 'combat' got me on the right track.
Nice lettering! I hope they love it.
