What is the best thing to use if I wanted to make some patches for my Girl Scouts? Is there special backing for patches? Thanks!!

A Boy Scout leader brought me some pre-made patches to embroider a club name on them. The patches appeared to be cotton duck fabric in kaki color with matching satin stitch around the edge. Once you make a patch from an applique circle the size you need, there is an iron-on fusible backing that you can use, or you can zigzag stitch the patch to an item without any backing. Hope this helps.

That is what I was wondering about, i have several applique circles and rectangles :) Thanks!
If you are referring to stabilizer, I would use medium to heavy tear-a-way under the duck cotton fabric.

Hi littlelambs, I use Emblibrary for help to making some things that I am unsure of. For patch making help scroll down to about 3/4 of this page--look on the left side until you see patches then click on the picture. You will find help there. Good luck--hope this helps you. H&*

Floriani Press N Bond
Use this "no sew" bonding material to adhere patches, appliqués and embroideries to most fabrics without stitching!
Press N Bond withstands laundering and dry cleaning and will create a permanent bond between fabric surfaces when heat is applied. NO sewing is required! Adheres to Vinyl, Polyester, Cotton, Polycotton and most other fabrics.

I made some patches for our children's group at church. This is how I did it, I used a tear away stabilizer with wonderunder on the bottom of it so it can be ironed onto their sashes. The leaders had used clipart and printed on photo fabric, so I placed it on top and I bought the applique patch shapes from emblibrary. You will have to trim the wonderunder but the stabilizer tears away. They turned out quite nice. I hope you can understand how I did it. Good luck!!!!
