Start the stitch
  • Insert the needle into the back of the patch, about 1/4 inch (~6 mm) in from the edge. Pull through so the thread knot is flush against the back of the patch.

  • Starting behind the patch will trap the starting knot between the patch and the garment, and reduce the number of knots the wearer will be able to see or feel.

  • Pierce the needle down at the edge of the patch, into the garment fabric adjacent to the first stitch.

  • Bring the back needle up approximately 1/4 inch (~6 mm) in from the edge of the patch and 1/4 inch (~6 mm) away from the first stitch. Pull the stitch tight.

  • Make sure that this stitch grabs all layers.

  • This technique creates a spiral of thread that adheres the edge of the patch to the garment.
