Instructions:Choose a photo or drawing for your patch. Scan the image. If you don't have a scanner, you may find images to use on the internet you would like to use. Size the image to about 3". Decide on a shape for your patch. If you are handy with a computer, put a 1/4" colored border around the picture. Print a test page to make sure you are happy with the image. Print it out on an inkjet transfer sheet, following the directions on the package. Cut your image to the finished size and shape. Ask an adult to help you transfer the image to a piece of white cotton fabric. Cut it out. satin stitchUse fabric glue to glue in place. To give your patch a really nice finished look, satin stitch a 1/4" boarder all around the the outside of the patch with embroidery floss. To do this, make close together stitches as shown.
