Usually if we could do with an embroidery badge we go to the store and try our luck. If you find that you are not capable of finding something you want at these stores or need to make something that is personalized and unique then you can certainly conveniently make these embroidery badges at home. What you silentcollar will be needing is a amount of creativity and imagination.
An embroidery badge is mostly used whenever we wish to customize our clothes in a way that we can be seen as an element of a group. So whether it's your garden club. Boy Scout team, hiking club etc, you can make your personal logo and badge at your home. You will need a few supplies such as a medium to heavy cotton cloth, embroidery threads, scissors, backing paper and iron on adhesive plus some tracing paper.
Begin your patch making first by zeroing in on the pattern and design of the badge. Normally badges are small in dimensions so do not forget that your pattern isn't too busy. You may have some words in addition to the pattern to denote the motto of the group or do away with the words and have only a beautiful pattern.
When you have selected the pattern you ought to transfer that to paper. Ensure that you keep the border thick since the border will serve as the frame of your badge. Color the drawing in the colors that you would like to work with in the final badge. When you are happy with your design trace it on a tracing paper first then transfer this tracing on the cloth. Ensure that the color of the cloth is of the background that you want.
If you have completed this step you simply must fix some backing paper on the back of your pattern. This backing paper is readily accessible at all embroidery stores in a good many types. You can find the wash away papers that wash off easily and there are tear away ones which you could tear off once you are ready with the design. After affixing the backing paper secure an embroidery hoop around the pattern ensuring that the pattern is in the center all of the time. This can help you in embroidering easily and conveniently without worrying about breaking needles or uneven stitching. It also helps greatly if you've got an in depth design traced on the cloth depicting the stitches that you like to utilize.
Now you can get set and start embroidering your embroidery badge. Ensure that you utilize a higher density of thread to create the border simply because this would be the frame for the badge. Upon having completed the entire embroidery get rid of the badge from the frame and cut it out leaving a little seam space. After having cut the badge from your big cloth you will have to carefully reduce any additional seam as closely as possible to the badge. You may then either stick the badge right to the garment that you choose or can put an iron on adhesive on the back of the badge and also have it ready for use.
