Do you have some questions about embroidered patches? You might want to know exactly how they work before you buy a few and start using them. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about biker patches that may provide all of the answers you need.
Q: Are sew on patches difficult to actually sew on?
A: As a general rule, no, they aren't. A lot does depend more on the jacket or item you're sewing them on to, of course. If it's really thick leather, you will have a little more difficultly than you would if you were sewing a patch onto thin nylon. The die cut borders on most patches make it simple to stitch around, and they hold your patch securely to the item.
Q: Can You Iron Motorcycle Patches onto Your Gear?
A: Yes, but you can't iron these patches onto leather. That's because the heat from the iron will damage leather, leaving it unable to be worn. You can iron it on to any other material that's not leather or nylon.
Q: Where can you buy biker patches?
A: These patches can be purchased from a number of places. The Cheap Place, of course, offers many different patches at a great price. You can also purchase patches at a biker rally.
Q: Are patches just for jackets?
A: No, you can add patches to just about anything. While most riders put them on their jackets, you can also add these patches to caps, vests, canvas belts, wallets, saddlebags, and even those cloth shopping bags people are using now. You could even add some patches to pillows and other decorative items to give your house a bit of a biker décor.
