Patch Digitizing FAQ

Custom Patch Embroidery FAQ

What is the difference between a merrowed border and a satin border patch?

A merrowed border uses a 3/8" overlock edge stitch around geometric shapes (round, oval, shield). A satin border is digitized to cap custom laser-cut shape outlines.

Do your patch files include fabric placement and tack-down stitch lines?

Yes! Every patch file includes Step 1 placement running stitch, Step 2 tack-down stitch with machine stop code, and Step 3 final satin border capping.

Can you digitize 3D puff foam patches?

Yes! Specify '3D Puff Patch' in your order notes. We will apply high-density satin stitches, capped ends, and stop codes so foam cuts cleanly during sewing.

Which file formats will I receive for my patch design?

You receive Tajima .DST, Brother .PES, Melco .EXP, Janome .JEF, plus a PDF production color proof ready for your machine.
