The making of a patch
From first mark to finished edge.
The quality of a patch is decided long before the machine starts. Every stage turns visual intent into a physical instruction.
- 01
Brief
We begin with use: where the patch will live, how large it can be, what it must survive, and what it needs to communicate at a glance.
Artwork · size · quantity · deadline
- 02
Material
The artwork is matched to the construction that can express it best—from dimensional embroidery and chenille to fine woven detail or moulded PVC.
Texture · detail · relief · durability
- 03
Digitize
The drawing becomes a stitch map. Direction, density, underlay, pull compensation, and running order are planned before a needle moves.
Path · density · underlay · sequence
- 04
Proof
A stitch-out or production proof reveals what a screen cannot: real thread, real scale, real edges, and the way light moves across the surface.
Scale · color · registration · finish
- 05
Build
The approved construction runs with controlled thread, base material, borders, and backing—then each piece is cut and finished for its final use.
Stitch · mould · cut · back

Inspect
Edges, alignment, color, surface, and attachment are checked before the patch leaves the worktable. The last step is consistency.
QC · pack · deliver · reorder
