Leather Patches

What is a Sew Channel? Why is it Important?

In crafting your leather patch, our team recommends a sew channel, a subtle debossed line 1/8 inch from the edge. This common feature serves as a guide for needle placement, aiding in straight stitching and enhancing durability. If preferred, you can request we omit any sew channel as well.

Backing Options for Leather Patches

Choosing the right backing for your project can be overwhelming due to the variety of options available. Here's a simplified guide to five popular backing choices:

• - No Backing: Included in our base pricing, this standard option is ideal for leather patches meant to be sewn onto your product.
• - Iron-On Backing: A favored choice for easy application. Use a heat press or iron to activate the glue on the patch's back, bonding it to your garment. Iron-on patches are not as enduring as sewn ones but can withstand multiple washes and attach permanently.
• - Peel & Stick Backing: Great for simplifying the sewing process. Just peel off the paper layer, place the patch on the fabric, and sew. It's a time-saver, eliminating the need for double-sided tape. This versatile backing also allows temporary attachment, transforming patches into unique embroidered stickers.
• - Hook & Loop Backing: Long popular among military, law enforcement, and firefighters, this backing is gaining widespread appeal for its versatility.
  • Hook Side Only: Includes only the hook side (the rough part) securely sewn onto the patch. This ensures a strong attachment without detachment during frequent use. Ideal if you already have the loop side (the soft part).
  • Hook and Loop (Both Sides): Comes with both hook and loop sides. The hook side is securely attached to the patch, and you also receive the loop side, pre-cut to fit the patch. Sew the loop side onto your chosen item, then attach the patch with the hook backing.

Debossing

VS

Embossing

When considering adding your design to leather patches, we offer two distinct methods: debossing and embossing. Debossing involves pressing the design into the leather, creating a recessed appearance. In contrast, embossing presses the design from the back of the leather, resulting in a raised effect on the front. Additionally, both techniques can be enhanced with the application of ink color during the process, further accentuating your design.
