Frequently Asked Questions About Patches

Where can I put patches?

Embroidered patches are a classic and easy way to express yourself through your clothing. Bikers started wearing patches on their jackets and clothing all the way back in the 1920s when the American Motorcyclist Association was founded. Today, patches can be added to almost anything. Add embroidered patches to your clothing and accessories like jackets, shirts, jeans, hats, bags, and more. Some people even add sew-on patches or iron-on patches to their home decor like pillows and blankets. Musicians can add them to their guitar straps, and pet owners can adorn their furry friends in bandanas with patches or even attach them to their collars. The opportunities are endless when it comes to accessorizing with our embroidered patches for sale.

What types of fabric can embroidered patches be attached to?

Patches are incredibly versatile and can be applied to a wide range of fabrics either by sewing or ironing them on. When attaching patches to any fabric, it's essential to consider the fabric's heat sensitivity to determine whether you should use sew-on patches or iron-on patches, the fabric's durability and whether the fabric can sustain the weight and texture without damage.

Should I sew or iron on patches?

Choosing to sew on or iron on your patches depends on the type of fabric you will be attaching the patch to. Some of the best fabrics for attaching iron-on patches include cotton and cotton blends, denim and canvas. You can follow our guide on how to iron on patches here. Fabrics that are better suited to having sew-on patches attached include polyester and synthetic blends, wool, leather and faux leather, nylon and velvet or other more delicate fabrics. Luckily, all of the patches from TheCheapPlace.com can be either sewn on or ironed onto the item of your choice.

How do I care for iron on patches?

Taking care of your iron-on patches will help ensure that they remain attached and in good condition for as long as possible. Hand washing is the gentlest way to wash your clothing adorned with patches, but if you must use a washing machine, be sure to turn the garment inside out and use cold water, a gentle cycle and a mild detergent. Air drying is also essential to not disturb the adhesive or the embroidery. If your patch begins to peel, place a cloth on top and press it with a warm iron. Do not iron directly over the patch and be sure to use a low to medium heat setting

Can I remove and reuse embroidered patches?

If you decide you want to keep your patches but not what they’re attached to, removing and reusing the patches is possible. The method depends on how the patch was attached in the first place. Sew-on patches are easier to remove, which can be done carefully with a seam ripper and sewn onto another item. If the patch was ironed on, it may be more difficult to remove. Heat could help to loosen the adhesive, but it may no longer be effective to iron onto another item unless a new piece of adhesive is attached, or you can sew on the patch instead.

A Word From the Patch Guy...

Hi, I'm Erhan, a.k.a. the Patch Guy! Thank you very much for visiting my online store. TheCheapPlace.com started off as a place for bikers and military veterans to shop for unique embroidered patches. As simple as the site looks, it's jam-packed with great stuff. Over a decade of development has gone into making sure the site is neat, organized, and easy to use.

As for me, I like two things: high-quality embroidered patches and creating a great online shopping experience. We are confident you'll find the kinds of patches you are looking for here, especially if you are a patriotic conservative. You know the kind of patches that Amazon forbids people from selling? Well, we have them.

We have one rule here at The Cheap Place: if a patch annoys, offends, or disgusts you, then don't buy it. We have over 3,000 different patch designs, so we are going to hit a nerve every now and again. But that's what free speech is all about. You'll be happier and live longer if you just let it go and realize that what might be distasteful to you is actually hilarious and awesome to someone else.

Thanks, again. We hope you enjoy looking through our patch collection. RIDE SAFELY!
